Southern Workers and the Search for Community: Spartanburg County, South Carolina
This author stresses the existence of a self-conscious sense of community among the textile mill villagers of Spartanburg, South Carolina. The workers, according to G. C. Waldrep III, lived in a vibrant community with a social vision of mutuality that they expanded into the mill itself. When the stretch-out system emerged after World War I, villagers resisted it as a violation of long-standing habits and customs. During the 1930s and 1940s, the e…
Testing the New Deal: The General Textile Strike of 1934 in the American South
In September 1934 two-thirds of the southern textile labor force walked off their jobs, inspired by Roosevelt's New to protest employer harassment and massive industry restructuring. After three weeks, the union that led the strike called it off in return for government promises that remained unfulfilled.

Organizing the Breathless: Cotton Dust, Southern Politics, and the Brown Lung Association
Strategy and Structure in the Textile Industry: Spencer Love and Burlington Mills, 1923-1962
Shrewd product selection allowed Spencer Love to build Burlington Mills into a large profitable firm in what most observers regarded as a declining industry, textiles. Using integration, diversification, and a multidivisional structure, he then attempted to have Burlington dominate its industry just as a few other large corporations controlled steel, automobiles, and chemicals. In textiles, however, powerful forces constrained and sometimes defea…
