While many have called for new syntheses, however, few have answered that call. The reason is quite simple: once one moves beyond level of pseudo-textbook, genuine syntheses are difficult…

Historians, especially, seem eager to write stories that have a plot and that develop sequentially and chronologically. Not for them a postmoder…

THE PROBLEM OF POWER in nineteenth century mill towns rests on a conflict between employer absolutism and the democratic rights of the employees. The treatment of power in recent community studies has been inadequate. This is particularly true in works influenced by symbolic anthropology, where the problem is seen to have been resolved in a consensual value system. However, the persistence of conflict in strikes and disorder compels an examinatio…
