Mining Coal And Undermining Gender: Rhythms Of Work And Family In The American West

Among the miners of Wyoming's Powder River Basin--the largest coal-producing region in the U.S.--anthropologist Jessica Smith Rolston reveals how the mining industry, though heavily masculinized, generates new configurations of the "working family"--a kind of kinship based on the shared burdens of shift work and concerns for safety, which challenges and reproduces gender differences in everyday working and family life. 9780813563671 0813563674 0 BOOK Social Science NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=mXAznwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
