ROOTS OF STEEL(ISBN=9781400095896) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子书 mobi 在线

　　When Deborah Rudacille was a child growing up in the

working-class town of Dundalk, Maryland, a worker at the local

Sparrows Point steel mill made more than enough to comfortably

support a family. But in the decades since, the decline of American

manufacturing has put tens of thousands out of work and left the

people of Dundalk pondering the broken promise of the American

dream.

In Roots of Steel, Rudacille combines personal narrative,

interviews with workers, and extensive research to capture the

character and history of this once-prosperous community. She takes

us from Sparrows Point’s nineteenth-century origins to its height

in the twentieth century as one of the largest producers of steel

in the world, providing the material that built America’s bridges,

skyscrapers, and battleships. Throughout, Rudacille dissects the

complicated racial, class, and gender politics that played out in

the mill and its neighboring towns, and details both the arduous

and dangerous work at the plant and the environmental cost of

industrial progress to the air and waterways of the Maryland

shore.

Powerful, candid, and eye-opening, Roots of Steel is a timely

reminder, as the American economy seeks to restructure itself, of

the people who inevitably have been left behind.
