Abstract
This study of a particular district of a Massachusetts town indicates how, over the space of some 70 years, patterns of work have changed dramatically. Making particular use of oral history methodology, the study identifies the changing significance of economic shifts over three generations and focuses on the ethnic composition of the workforce. It notes the differential experiences for the various groups and the processes whereby cultural values and family ties were gradually eroded as a more homogeneous ‘American’ economic and social pattern was imposed on the locality.
