The rise of the United States to a position of global leadership and power rested initially on the outcome of the Industrial Revolution. Yet as early as the 1920s, important American industries were in decline in the places where they had originally flourished.The decline of traditional manufacturing—deindustrialization—has been one of the most significant aspects of the restructuring of the American economy. In this volume, David Koistinen examines the demise of the textile industry in New England from the 1920s through the 1980s to better understand the impact of industrial decline. Focusing on policy responses to deindustrialization at the state, regional, and federal levels, he offers an in-depth look at the process of industrial decline over time and shows how this pattern repeats itself throughout the country and the world.

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.
