Opis

In "Farm and Factory", Daniel Nelson illuminates the importance of the Midwest in United States labor history. The Midwest - often overlooked in studies focusing on other regions, or particular cities or industries - has a distinctive labor history characterized by the sustained, simultaneous growth of both agriculture and industry. Thus the transfer of labor from farm to factory did not occur in the Midwest until after World War II, and industrialists recruited workers elsewhere - especially from Europe and the American South.The region's relatively underdeveloped service sector - shaped by the presumption that goods were more desirable than service production - ultimately led to agonizing problems of adjustment as agriculture and industry evolved in the late twentieth century. The Midwestern experience has also been distinctive for the role played by the worker's 'voice': unions, union actions, and farm organizations articulated the interests, complaints, and fears of labor. All of these elements combine to shape a distinctively Midwestern history of work and workers.
