520 Company towns were the spatial manifestation of a social
ideology and an economic rationale. The contributors to
this volume show how national politics, social protest,
and local culture transformed those founding ideologies by
examining the histories of company towns in six countries:
Argentina (Firmat), Brazil (Volta Redonda, Santos,
Fordlândia), Canada (Sudbury), Chile (El Salvador), Mexico
(Santa Rosa, Río Blanco), and the United States (Anaconda,
Kellogg, and Sunflower City).; Company towns across the
Americas played similar economic and social roles. They
advanced the frontiers of industrial capitalism and became
powerful symbols of modernity. They expanded national
economies by supporting extractive industries on thinly
settled frontiers and, as a result, brought more land,
natural resources, and people under the control of
corporations. U.S. multinational companies exported ideas
about work discipline, race, and gender to Latin America
as they established company towns there to extend their
economic reach. Employers indeed shaped social relations
in these company towns through education, welfare, and
leisure programs, but these essays also show how working-
class communities reshaped these programs to serve their
needs.; The editors' introduction and a theoretical essay
by labor geographer Andrew Herod provide the context for
the case studies and illuminate how the company town
serves as a window into both the comparative and
transnational histories of labor under industrial
capitalism.
