Stephen Meyer charts the complex vagaries of men reinventing
manhood in twentieth century America. Their ideas of masculinity
destroyed by principles of mass production, workers created a
white-dominated culture that defended its turf against other racial
groups and revived a crude, hypersexualized treatment of women that
went far beyond the shop floor. At the same time, they recast
unionization battles as manly struggles against a system killing
their very selves. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, Meyer
recreates a social milieu in stunning detail--the mean labor and
stolen pleasures, the battles on the street and in the soul, and a
masculinity that expressed itself in violence and sexism but also
as a wellspring of the fortitude necessary to maintain one's
dignity while doing hard work in hard world.
