520 2 "In 2002, the town of Galesburg, a slowly declining
Rustbelt city of 34,000 in western Illinois, learned that
it would soon lose its largest factory, a Maytag
refrigerator plant that had anchored Galesburg's social
and economic life for half a century. Workers at the plant
earned $15.14 an hour, had good insurance, and were
assured a solid retirement. In 2004, the plant was
relocated to Reynosa, Mexico, where workers spent 13-hour
days assembling refrigerators for $1.10 an hour. In Boom,
Bust, Exodus, Broughton offers a look at the transition to
a globalized economy, from the perspective of those who
have felt its effects most. In today's highly commoditized
world, we are increasingly divorced from the origins of
the goods we consume; the human labor required to create
our smart phones and hybrid cars is so far removed from
the end product we need not even think about it. And yet,
Broughton shows, the human cost behind the shifting
currents of the global economy remains a reality.
Broughton illuminates these complexities through a tale of
two cities that have fared very differently in the global
contest to woo or retain fickle capital. In Galesburg, the
economy is a shadow of what it once was. Reynosa, in
contrast, has become one of the exploding 'second-tier
cities' of the developing world, thanks to the influx of
foreign-owned, export-oriented maquiladoras. And yet even
these distinctions cannot be finely drawn: families
struggle to get by in Reynosa, and the city is beset by
violence and a ruthless drug war. Those left behind in
declining of Galesburg, meanwhile, do not see themselves
as helpless victims: many have gone back to school,
scramble from job to job, and have learned to adapt and
even thrive. It is a downsized existence, but a full-sized
life nonetheless"--|cProvided by publisher.
