It does far more than help liberate local history from town boosters ... It restores the American industrial revolution to historiography's center stage, where it belongs. * New York Times *\u003cbr\u003eThe author brilliantly examines the structure and culture of Lynn shoemakers...Diligent research, unearthing of new information, sophisticated conceptualization, imaginative thinking...make this book an extraordinary contribution in American social and economic history. * Historian *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a welcome re-issue of one of the first and best of the community studies of industrial change in the nineteenth-century United States that emerged with the \"new social history\" of the 1970s. First published in 1976, Dawley's book was widely influential as a model case study, as an application of class analysis to American social history, and as an example of social history with the politics left in. -- Christopher Clark * History *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface, 2000: Lynn Revisited   Introduction: A Microcosm of the Industrial Revolution   Entrepreneurs   Artisans   Factories   The City   Workers   The Poor and the Less Poor   Militants   Politicians   Conclusion: Equal Rights and Beyond    Appendixes   Tables on Population, Output, and Employment  Research Methods  The Ward 4 Factor   Bibliography   Notes   Index","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403511013719,"sku":"9780674004313","price":31.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780674004313.jpg?v=1730483690","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/class-and-community-9780674004313","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
