Company towns first appeared in Europe and North America with the
industrial revolution and followed the expansion of capital to
frontier societies, colonies, and new nations. Their common feature
was the degree of company control and supervision, reaching beyond
the workplace into workers' private and social lives. Major sites
of urban experimentation, paternalism, and welfare practices,
company towns were also contested terrain of negotiations and
confrontations between capital and labor. Looking at historical and
contemporary examples from Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia,
this book explores company towns' global reach and adaptability to
diverse geographical, political, and cultural contexts.
