Overview"The End of the Line tells the story of the 1988 closing of the Chrysler assembly plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kathryn Marie Dudley uses interviews with residents to chart the often confusing process of change that deindustrialization forced on every corner of the community. This honest, moving portrait of one town's radical shift from a manufacturing to a postindustrial economy will redefine the way Americans think about our families, communities, and future. ""An excellent study not only of the cultural disruptions caused by the shutdown of Chrysler's operations in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but also of the ideology of progress that abetted the shutdown.""—Stephen Amberg, Industrial and Labor Relations Review ""With the eye of an anthropologist, [Dudley] examines the tensions between the 'culture of hands' and the 'culture of mind.' Her account is especially instructive because, by many measures, Kenosha has successfully recovered, yet for many the pain still remains.""—Booklist ""Exceptional. . . . Should be widely read.""—Douglas Harper, Contemporary Sociology ""Make[s] clear what a tenuous concept economic security is, especially when the rules for achieving security are in flux.""—Barbara Presley Noble, New York Times" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Kathryn Marie DudleyPublisher: The University of Chicago Press Imprint: University of Chicago Press Dimensions: Width: 1.60cm , Height: 0.20cm , Length: 2.40cm Weight: 0.510kg ISBN: 9780226169088ISBN 10: 0226169081 Pages: 250 Publication Date: 01 July 1994 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
