Series Statement:
Geographies of justice and social transformation
Content:
Company towns were the spatial manifestation of a social ideology and an economic rationale. The contributors to this volume show how national politics, social protest, and local culture transformed those founding ideologies by examining the histories of company towns in six countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and the U.S.
