Abstract

For many of us DH Lawrence was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of Women In Love or Lady Chatterley's Lover? Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values. This of course did not deter him. At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced. As well as his novels and of course his poetry - he wrote in excess of 800 of them he was also a very talented playwright. These works have not been given quite the attention they deserve. Here we publish 'Touch and Go'.

Abstract

La mine meurt ; elle n'en finit pas de mourir. Mais la rumeur minière réinvente le travail et le métier. Avec le dernier des métiers, avec les mots les plus traditionnels du credo productiviste, elle bégaie une tout autre légitimité : le travail retravaillé - faut-il dire réapproprié ? Ce livre a une ambition: rompre avec la “culture” du diagnostic qu'on oppose en vain à “la” crise ; réinscrire la crise, celle du pays minier de Montceau, et au-delà, celle dont tout le monde parle, dans les échanges quotidiens, la conversation civile, les rapports ordinaires des citoyens ; et suggérer ce que nous pourrions gagner à cette “reculturation”. Scientifiquement et socialement.

Abstract

From 1900 until the early 1920's, an unusual community existed in America's heartland-Buxton, Iowa. Originally established by the Consolidation Coal Company, Buxton was the largest unincorporated coal mining community in Iowa. What made Buxton unique, however, is the fact that the majority of its 5,000 residents were African Americans-a highly unusual racial composition for a state which was over 90 percent white. At a time when both southern and northern blacks were disadvantaged and oppressed, blacks in Buxton enjoyed true racial integration-steady employment, above-average wages, decent

Abstract

In Pennsylvania Mining Families, Barry P. Michrina offers a luminous portrait of Pennsylvania coal miners and their response to economic oppression. He follows them from the great coal strike of 1927 through daily threats of injury and death in the mines to the departure of children and grandchildren as the industry has declined. Drawing on numerous first-hand interviews, as well as extensive archival research, he analyzes the change in work practices, the miners' own views about their ever-evolving situation, and relationships between miners and mining companies -- undercutting the stereotyp
