ld Reid traces the rise and fall of industry over almost two centuries—from the final decades of the
ancient régime
until the Fifth Republic—in a coal-mining community in southwestern France. In Decazeville the miners experienced both full industrial development and deindustrialization, phenomena that are not simply economic but social, political, and human as well. Reid analyzes the interactions of miners, managers, and the state in the making and unmaking of an industrial community. He unmasks the intricacies of the distribution of managerial authority, demonstrates the ramifications of the early intervention of the state, charts the development of workers' political and national identity, and sensitively portrays the struggle against insecurity that menaces workers' lives. This contribution to social and economic history, labor history, and the history of management sets agendas for future work in this significant area of contemporary history.
