"The best collection available concerning current trends affecting the Southern working class."--Leon Fink, University of Illinois-Chicago
"The essays in this collection raise fundamental questions about development, globalization, and change in the American South and will appeal to a broad array of scholars concerned with the current waves of social and economic change sweeping the nation."--Louis M. Kyriakoudes, University of Southern Mississippi
Over the last forty years, the American South has become very diverse very quickly. New businesses and job opportunities in the region have driven this growth, brought an influx of capital, and attracted residents from other parts of the country and the world. Since World War II, traditionalism in the South has had to live side-by-side with a South embodying internationalism, diversity, and movement.
In this volume, a group of historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists examine the intersection of labor history and migration studies to explain the South's recent dynamism in both urban and rural settings. Under the editorship of Robert Cassanello and Colin Davis, these essays examine the transformation of the Southern workplace since World War II, the impact migration has on workers who don't move, and the corporations and industry that have relocated below the Mason-Dixon line.
