After the Dream: Black and White Southerners Since 1965
ISBN: 9780813129785 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Martin Luther King's 1965 address from Montgomery, Alabama, the center of much racial conflict at the time and the location of the well-publicized bus boycott a decade earlier, is often considered by historians to be the culmination of the civil rights era in American history. In his momentous speech, King declared that segregation was "on its deathbed" and that the movement had already achieved significant milestones. Although the civil rights movement had won many battles in the struggle for racial equality by the mid-1960s, including legislation to guarantee black voting rights and to...

What Do We Need a Union For?: The TWUA in the South, 1945-1955
ISBN: 9780807846254 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The rise in standards of living throughout the U. S. in the wake of World War II brought significant changes to the lives of southern textile workers. Mill workers' wages rose, their purchasing power grew, and their economic expectations increased--with little help from the unions. Timothy Minchin argues that the reasons behind the failure of textile unions in the postwar South lie not in stereotypical assumptions of mill workers' passivity or anti-union hostility but in these large-scale social changes. Minchin addresses the challenges faced by the TWUA--competition from nonunion mills that...

Color of Work
ISBN: 9780807849330 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Histories of the civil rights movement have generally overlooked the battle to integrate the South's major industries. The paper industry, which has played an important role in the southern economy since the 1930s, has been particularly neglected. Using previously untapped legal records and oral history interviews, Timothy Minchin provides the first in-depth account of the struggle to integrate southern paper mills.
Minchin describes how jobs in the southern paper industry were strictly segregated prior to the 1960s, with black workers confined to low-paying, menial positions. All...

Empty Mills: The Fight Against Imports and the Decline of the U.S. Textile Industry
ISBN: 9781442220829 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With the economy struggling, there has been much discussion about the effects of deindustrialization on American manufacturing. While the steel and auto industries have taken up most of the spotlight, the textile and apparel industries have been profoundly affected. In Empty Mills, Timothy Minchin provides the first book length study of how both industries have suffered since WWII and the unwavering efforts of industry supporters to prevent that decline. In 1985, the textile industry accounted for one in eight manufacturing jobs, and unlike the steel and auto industries, more than fifty...

Hiring the Black Worker: The Racial Integration of the Southern Textile Industry, 1960-1980
ISBN: 9780807847718 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the 1960s and 1970s, the textile industry's workforce underwent a dramatic transformation, as African Americans entered the South's largest industry in growing numbers. Only 3.3 percent of textile workers were black in 1960; by 1978, this number had risen to 25 percent. Using previously untapped legal records and oral history interviews, Timothy Minchin crafts a compelling account of the integration of the mills.
Minchin argues that the role of a labor shortage in spurring black hiring has been overemphasized, pointing instead to the federal government's influence in pressing the...
