Description: Further DetailsTitle: Global HeartlandCondition: NewDescription: Global Heartland is the account of diverse, dispossessed, and displaced people brought together in a former sundown town in Illinois. Recruited to work in the local meat-processing plant, African Americans, Mexicans, and West Africans re-create the town in unexpected ways. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in the US, Mexico, and Togo, Faranak Miraftab shows how this workforce is produced for the global labor market; how the displaced workers' transnational lives help them stay in these jobs; and how they negotiate their relationships with each other across the lines of ethnicity, race, language, and nationality as they make a new home. Beardstown is not an exception but an example of local-global connections that make for local development. Focusing on a locality in a non-metropolitan region, this work contributes to urban scholarship on globalization by offering a fresh perspective on politics and materialities of placemaking.Author: Faranak MiraftabCountry/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780253019349Format: PaperbackGenre: Society & CultureISBN: 9780253019349ISBN-10: 0253019346Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 399gLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Indiana University PressRelease Date: 01/07/2016Book Series: Framing the GlobalSubtitle: Displaced Labor, Transnational Lives, and Local PlacemakingTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
