Résumé
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The impact of globalization on southwest Virginia was not being documented by other media outlets. It was up to writers and photographers like Jared and me to paint the long-view picture of what had happened when, one after another, the textile and then the furniture factories closed and set up shop in Mexico, China, and Vietnam.#2 The town of Galax, about seventy miles away from Rocky Mount, had a man who had bucked the trend of unemployment. He was from the family that had once run the largest furniture-making operation in the world.#3 I would meet Wanda Perdue, a former Stanley Furniture worker, outside a community college computer lab. She had traveled to Myrtle Beach three years before, her first time seeing the ocean. She wanted me to see what happened in Indonesia and explain to her why we couldn't do that in America anymore.#4 The globalization of manufacturing has brought many benefits, but it has also displaced many workers. I remember riding with my sister to pick up my mom from work at Grimes, the aircraft-lighting factory in Urbana, Ohio.
