Softcover. Condition: VERY GOOD. Very Good. Unmarked interior text. 1998. Cornell University Press, Ithaca, New York. Paperback. Illustrated throughout w/ b&w documentary photographs by George Harvan. Octavo. Oral histories of northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region after the postwar mine closings, compiled by labor historian Thomas Dublin from interviews across the Panther Valley communities. Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: When the Mines Closed: Stories of Struggles in Hard Times documents the economic and social transformation of northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region across the mid-twentieth century. Bancroft Prize-winning labor historian Thomas Dublin compiles detailed oral histories from former coal miners, garment factory workers, and family members residing throughout the Panther Valley communities of Lansford, Coaldale, and Nesquehoning. Narratives examine post-World War II colliery shutdowns, subsequent employment migration, the expansion of regional textile and garment manufacturing, and the preservation of enduring working-class traditions amid persistent industrial decline. Presented in a trade paperback format under the Cornell Paperbacks imprint, the work incorporates extensive documentary photography by photojournalist George Harvan. Full-page and in-text monochrome photographs illustrate underground coal seams, towering colliery breakers, union labor gatherings, garment factory floors, and domestic community life in Carbon and Schuylkill counties. Academic cartography, historical overviews, and structured thematic chapters ground each personal testimony in broader economic and sociopolitical frameworks. Published by Cornell University Press in Ithaca, New York, the volume represents a notable contribution to Appalachian and Mid-Atlantic regional labor studies. Dublin's rigorous fieldwork preserves primary-source accounts of twentieth-century American deindustrialization, documenting the transition of coal communities as traditional heavy industry gave way to decentralized light manufacturing. Scholars, regional historians, and labor researchers reference the text for its integration of qualitative oral testimony and historical documentary photography. George Harvan (illustrator).…
