“Gender, Work and Community After De-Industrialisation is a moving discernment of the social suffering of the inhabitants of Steeltown in the wake of enduring community trauma and an original ethnographic study. … It should be of particular interest to those concerned with the many matters the research touches upon … as well as those involved with the many people whose lives have been impacted by industrial decline.” (Philip John Archard, Journal of Social Work Practice, 2015)
'This illuminating book leads its rapt readers to discover a deeply buried and greatly important truth for people in a small town in south Wales. For 200 years the town absorbed the insecurities of the market for iron and steel, until one day, the work of handling them left and with it the male honor based on such work and an identity based on that honor. Loss, collective grief, the unconscious passing down of grief from man to woman and from father to son this is the story of life in one small town, and in the modern world at large. A brilliant book.' - Arlie Hochschild, Full Professor of the Graduate School, University of California, Berkeley, USA and author of The Managed Heart and The Outsourced Self .Authors and Affiliations
