Rather than locating these shifts in statutory reform or economic development, it finds the origin in litigations that occurred in the wake of industrial accidents incurred by young workers. Drawing on archival case records from the Appalachian South between the 1880s and the 1920s, the book argues that young workers and their families envisioned an industrial childhood that rested on negotiating safe workplaces, a vision at odds with child labor reform. Local court battles over industrial violence confronted working people with a legal language of childhood incapacity and slowly moved them to accept the lexicon of child labor. In this way, the law fashioned the broad social relations of modern industrial childhood. 410 0$aCambridge historical studies in American law and society. 606 $aChild labor$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWorkers' compensation$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aIndustrial safety$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aChild labor$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aChild labor$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aWorkers' compensation$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrial safety$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory. 676 $a344.7301/31 700 $aSchmidt$b James D$0127130 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814021703321 996 $aIndustrial violence and the legal origins of child labor$94063739 997 $aUNINA
