Poor Man's Fortune
Poor Man's Fortune examines the white working-class men who labored in the lead and zinc mines along the boundaries of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Because these miners opposed social-democratic labor unions and politics in the period leading up to the New Deal, they have not typically received attention from labor historians. They stood apart from the idea of a class-based solidarity, par…
Constructing the Patriarchal City
Scholars of Anglo-Atlantic cities have generally focused on class, ethnic, and racial groups to explain the built environment and have focused largely on the small group of men who traveled the region, wrote extensively on the issue, and organized conferences to showcase their ideas and plans.

Zoot Suit
In her provocative new book about the “enigmatic” career of the zoot suit, Kathy Peiss makes clear that style can profoundly shape power relations, and she is not calling “for a return to an idea of culture as a discrete realm” (p. 4). Her goal instead is to examine carefully the “circumstances in which a cultural style may or may not be in fact political” (ibid.). Too often, she argues, scholars and activists have invested the aesthetic with pol…
He Likes Women More Than He Likes Drink and That Is Quite Unusual’
Throughout the early twentieth century working‐class men spent much of their leisure time in their basement hangouts, known as social clubs. Social clubs usually formed out of the associational life of young working‐class men and remained attached to a larger male culture. But they were also used for dances and other heterosocial interaction. This essay examines the organisation of these clubs and how members used them to negotiate homosocial and…
