Continuity and Disruption : Working-Class Community in Lynn and Fall River, Massachusetts, 1880-1950

Cumbler, John Taylor, Jr.

From a review of by Donald H. Stewart, SUNY Cortland, on the later text based on this dissertation's research: "Cumbler concentrates on two Massachusetts cities - Lynn, a late-nineteenth century shoe manufacturing center, and Fall River, a leading textile producer. Contradicting historians who argue that upward mobility and ethnic competition prevented American coherent class solidarity, he finds much of it in both municipalities."
