Softcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. In 1986, with little warning, the USX Homestead Works closed. Thousands of workers who depended on steel to survive were left without work. A Town Without Steel looks at the people of Homestead as they reinvent their views of household and work and place in this world. The book details the modifications and revisions of domestic strategies in a public crisis. In some ways unique, and in some ways typical of American industrial towns, the plight of Homestead sheds light on social, cultural, and political developments of the late twentieth century. In this anthropological and photographic account of a town facing the crisis of deindustrialization, A Town Without Steel focuses on families. Reminiscent of Margaret Byington and Lewis Hine%u2019s approach in Homestead, Charlee Brodsky%u2019s photographs document the visual dimension of change in Homestead. The mill that dominated the landscape transformed to a vast, empty lot; a crowded commercial street turns into a ghost town; and an abundance of well-kept homes become an abandoned street of houses for sale. The individual narratives and family snapshots, Modell%u2019s interpretations, and Brodsky%u2019s photographs all evoke the tragedy and the resilience of a town whose primary source of self-identification no longer exists.

Very Good in Wrappers. 9781785332043. bibliog., index. 238 pages. paperback. keywords: Anthropology Cultural SOCIAL SCIENCE Ethnic Studies Social History. DESCRIPTION - Through the voices and perspectives of the members of an extended Hawaiian family, or 'ohana', this book tells the story of North American imperialism in Hawai`i from the Great Depression to the new millennium. The family members offer their versions of being Native Hawaiian in an American state, detailing the ways in which US laws, policies, and institutions made, and continue to make, an impact on their daily lives. The book traces the ways that Hawaiian values adapted to changing conditions under a Territorial regime and then after statehood. These conditions involved claims for land for Native Hawaiian Homesteads, education in American public schools, military service, and participation in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Based on fieldwork observations, kitchen table conversations, and talk-stories, or mo`olelo, this book is a unique blend of biography, history, and anthropological analysis. inventory #42827. …
