You might enjoy this book if you're interested in understanding the intricate relationship between social class and community structures in historical contexts, particularly within an American setting. The author provides a rich analysis of working-class life, offering insight into how labour movements and industrial growth have shaped societal dynamics. This book is perfect for those keen on exploring the transformative periods of history through the lens of social and economic developments.

In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of his Bancroft Prize-winning book, Dawley reflects once more on labor and class issues, poverty and progress, and the contours of urban history in the city of Lynn, Massachusetts, during the rise of industrialism in the early nineteenth century.

At a time when global forces often seem more important than any particular place, this classic study of America's industrial revolution reminds us that the local community can sometimes provide the most revealing setting for understanding larger social processes. -- Leon Fink, author of Progressive Intellectuals and the Dilemmas of Democratic Commitment

Description

In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of his prize-winning book, Dawley reflects once more on labour and class issues, poverty and progress, and the contours of urban history in the city of Lynn, Massachusetts, during the rise of industrialism in the early nineteenth century.

He not only revisits this urban conglomeration, but also seeks out previously unheard groups such as women and blacks. The result is a more rounded portrait of a small eastern city on the verge of becoming modern.
