Steven High\u0026amp;#x2019;s \u003ci\u003eOne Job Town\u003c\/i\u003e delves into the long history of deindustrialization in the paper-making town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, located on Canada\u0026amp;#x2019;s resource periphery. Much like hundreds of other towns and cities across North America and Europe, Sturgeon Falls has lost their primary source of industry, resulting in the displacement of workers and their families.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne Job Town\u003c\/i\u003e takes us into the making of a culture of industrialism and the significance of industrial work for mill-working families. \u003ci\u003eOne Job Town\u003c\/i\u003e approaches deindustrialization as a long term, economic, political, and cultural process, which did not begin and simply end with the closure of the local mill in 2002. High examines the work-life histories of fifty paper mill workers and managers, as well as city officials, to gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of the formation and dissolution of a culture of industrialism. Oral history and memory are at the heart of \u003ci\u003eOne Job Town\u003c\/i\u003e, challenging us to rethink the relationship between the past and the present in what was formerly known as the industrialized world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA.
