Description
One Job Town: Work, Belonging, and Betrayal in Northern Ontario
This book explores the long history of deindustrialization in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, a town that lost its primary source of industry, resulting in widespread displacement. Steven High examines the work-life histories of 50 paper mill workers and managers to understand the impact of industrial culture on families.
Through oral history and memory, High challenges us to rethink our relationship between past and present, shedding light on a complex process that extends beyond a single event or closure. A nuanced exploration of economic, political, and cultural change, One Job Town offers a thought-provoking insight into the consequences of industrial decline.
