Basing their research on a series of extraordinary interviews, letters, and articles from the trade press, the authors uncover the voices and experiences of workers in the Southern cotton mill industry during the 1920s and 1930s. Now with a new afterword, this edition stands as an invaluable contribution to American social history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The genius of \u003ci\u003eLike a Family\u003c\/i\u003e lies in its effortless integration of the history of the family--particularly women--into the history of the cotton-mill world.--Ira Berlin, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eLike a Family\u003c\/i\u003e is history, folklore, and storytelling all rolled into one.
