Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may wonder or might not ever give a damn about why I would decide to spend my time spilling all this inside information about our factories. I did it so that some of us line rats are exposed for the rats we really are. Maybe it is because I just want to gain a bit a respect for all the hardworking, sweating hours that went into those vehicles that some of us deserve. I would like to clear up many false impressions that all of us Ford Employees have to try to live up to that are not even close to being realistically true! Whatever the case may be, I like most of American has a story to tell. I have allowed myself to tell the truth, chase any issues that I had stored all boggled up inside, sometimes taking myself to even the darkest depressing places in my life. I changed all the names, days, and identifying characteristics of many people portrayed in this book have been obscured for literary cohesion, to protect our privacy, to protect the guilty so that they may retain their innocence, and so that my husband will not divorce me.
Download or read book The Color Line and the Assembly Line written by Elizabeth Esch and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Color Line and the Assembly Line tells a new story of the impact of mass production on society. Global corporations based originally in the United States have played a part in making gender and race everywhere. Focusing on Ford Motor Company’s rise to become the largest, richest, and most influential corporation in the world, The Color Line and the Assembly Line takes on the traditional story of Fordism. Contrary to popular thought, the assembly line was perfectly compatible with all manner of racial practice in the United States, Brazil, and South Africa. Each country’s distinct racial hierarchies in the 1920s and 1930s informed Ford’s often divisive labor processes. Confirming racism as an essential component in the creation of global capitalism, Elizabeth Esch also adds an important new lesson showing how local patterns gave capitalism its distinctive features.

Download or read book Ford at Fifty written by Ford Motor Company and published by New York : Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 1953 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No longer relegated to reporting on society happenings or household hints, women columnists have over the past twenty years surged across the boundary separating the "women's" or "lifestyle" sections and into the formerly male bastions of the editorial, financial, medical, and "op-ed" pages. Where men previously controlled the nation's news organizations, were the chief opinion givers, and defined what is newsworthy, many women newspaper columnists are now nationally syndicated and tackle the same subjects as their male counterparts, bringing with them distinctive styles and viewpoints. Through these frank and lively interviews, Maria Braden explores the lives and work of columnists Erma Bombeck, Jane Brody, Mona Charen, Merlene Davis, Georgie Anne Geyer, Dorothy Gilliam, Ellen Goodman, Molly Ivins, Mary McGrory, Judith ("Miss Manners") Martin, Joyce Maynard, Anna Quindlen, and Jane Bryant Quinn. Profiles describe how these writers got started, where they get the nerve to tell the world what they think, how they generate ideas for columns, and what it's like to create under the pressure of deadlines. Representative columns illustrate their distinctive voices, and an introductory essay provides a historical overview of women in journalism, including pioneering women columnists Fanny Fern, Dorothy Thompson, and Sylvia Porter. Braden finds that today's women columnists frequently raise issues or use examples unique to their gender. Because they are likely to have a direct personal connection to current social issues such as abortion, child care, or sexual harassment, they are able to provide fresh perspectives on these provocative topics. In doing so, they are helping to define what is worthy of attention in the '90s and to shape public response. A unique addition to the literature on women in journalism, this book will interest general readers as well as students of journalism, literature, American studies, and women's studies. Aspiring writers will find here role models and practical guidance.
