By examining the social and religious culture of the region, Allen Tullos illuminates the lives of the working men and women whose \"habits of industry\" shaped their world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTullos combines archival research with an extensive collection of oral histories to shed new light on the essentially all-white textile industry in the era before World War II. He examines such topics as workers' transition from an agrarian folk culture to an industrial working class, the changing patterns of employers' paternalistic relations, and the contrasting and complimentary meanings of \"industry.\" Using biographies and autobiographies of both mill owners and mill workers, Tullos juxtaposes the entrepreneurial narratives of the Belks, Hammetts, Tompkinses, Dukes, and Loves with the equally remarkable stories of such workers as Ethel Hillard, Alice and Grover Hardin, and Nigel League. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen Tullos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807842478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807842478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 5.93w x 1.25d","brand":"Allen Tullos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055931715839,"sku":"9780807842478","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0beed33-d2bc-499e-a294-4896ceaeeda8.jpg?v=1685038593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/habits-of-industry-allen-tullos-9780807842478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
