Essays from scholars of labor and migration that examine changes in the Southern workplace after World War IIIn the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the American South became very diverse very quickly. New businesses and job opportunities in the region drove this growth, brought an influx of capital, and attracted residents from other parts of the country and the world. After World War II, traditionalism in the South lived side-by-side with a South embodying internationalism, diversity, and movement.In this volume, a group of historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists examine the intersection of labor history and migration studies to explain the South's dynamism in both urban and rural settings during this time. Under the editorship of Robert Cassanello and Colin Davis, these essays examine the transformation of the Southern workplace after World War II, the impact of migration, and the corporations and industry that relocated below the Mason-Dixon line.
