Niagara Falling reveals what happens to a small community when it
is forced into the global economy. This case study of the effects
of "globalization in reverse," when foreign-based companies operate
in a community in the United States, takes the reader to Niagara,
Wisconsin, where the primary employer is the local paper mill,
currently owned by a new, foreign company. Miller examines whether
and how local government, civic engagement, education, and the
environment are affected by this reverse globalization. Has Niagara
changed because its main employer is now a huge, multinational
company based in Finland? Or are many of the changes it has
experienced simply the result of the natural progression of a small
town? Niagara Falling is an accessible work for sociology scholars
and students alike.
