Description: "Based on the plant shutdown stories told by over 130 industrial workers, and drawing on extensive archival and published sources as well as songs and poetry from the time, Steven High explores the central issues in the history and contemporary politics of plant closings. In so doing, he poses new questions about group identification and solidarity in the face of often dramatic industrial transformation."--Jacket.
