The contributors to this volume show how national politics, social protest, and local culture transformed those founding ideologies by examining the histories of company towns in six countries: Argentina (Firmat), Brazil (Volta Redonda, Santos, Fordĺndia), Canada (Sudbury), Chile (El Salvador), Mexico (Santa Rosa, R̕o Blanco), and the United States (Anaconda, Kellogg, and Sunflower City).; Company towns across the Americas played similar economic and social roles. They advanced the frontiers of industrial capitalism and became powerful symbols of modernity. They expanded national economies by supporting extractive industries on thinly settled frontiers and, as a result, brought more land, natural resources, and people under the control of corporations. U.S. multinational companies exported ideas about work discipline, race, and gender to Latin America as they established company towns there to extend their economic reach. Employers indeed shaped social relations in these company towns through education, welfare, and leisure programs, but these essays also show how working-class communities reshaped these programs to serve their needs. [An] introduction and a theoretical essay by labor geographer Andrew Herod provide the context for the case studies and illuminate how the company town serves as a window into both the comparative and transnational histories of labor under industrial capitalism. 000433218 650_0 $$aCompany towns$$zAmerica$$xHistory. 000433218 650_0 $$aIndustrialization$$zAmerica$$xHistory. 000433218 650_0 $$aSocial engineering$$zAmerica$$xHistory. 000433218 7001_ $$aDinius, Oliver J.$$q(Oliver Jürgen) 000433218 7001_ $$aVergara, Angela,$$d1972- 000433218 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tCompany towns in the Americas.$$dAthens, GA : University of Georgia Press, 2010$$z9780820333298$$z9780820336824$$w(DLC) 2010020411$$w(OCoLC)631746832 000433218 8520_ $$bacq 000433218 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000433218 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3038905$$zOnline Access 000433218 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:433218$$pGLOBAL_SET 000433218 980__ $$aEBOOK 000433218 980__ $$aBIB 000433218 982__ $$aEbook 000433218 983__ $$aOnline
