"...a well-researched, ambitious attempt to analyze the intersection of race and gender in the steel industry in Western Pennsylvania over nearly four decades. It effectively conveys a sense of shop floor dynamics while also taking account of important developments in the structure of the industry and in political and community life." — Martin Halpern, author of UAW Politics in the Cold War Era"This book analyzes the history of racial discrimination in the steel industry in the context of an original model of the political economy of steel production and labor relations." — Robert Asher, Labor Divided: Race and Ethnicity in United States Labor Struggles, 1835–1960
