Chapter 1The Plurality of Power in Industrial Capitalism: A Case Study of Fayette, Michigan

Cowie, Sarah E.

Pages: 1 –10

[Theories of power within industrial capitalism take myriad forms. Archaeologists working at industrial sites most often use binary domination and resistance paradigms, or focus on topical interests such as gender, class, or ethnicity. This volume builds on much of that work and uses a...

Chapter 2Working Communities and the Victorian-American Company Town

Cowie, Sarah E.

Cowie, Sarah E.

Pages: 153 –172
