Reviews

Jeremy Milloy:
The editors and contributors are to be commended for creating a multi-faceted study that shows that deindustrialization is far from a closed subject.

Sean O’Connell, professor, School of History and Anthropology, Queen’s University Belfast:
This is an important book. It enriches debates about deindustrialization by taking them in a number of new directions and by probing how the term is understood. Taken together, the chapters offer insightful comparative analyses on issues such as race, gender, gentrification, and the stigmatization of the white working class.
