Book Review

Industrial Sunset: The Making of North Amer-ica's Rust Belt, 1969–1984. By Steven High. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2003. xii, 306 pp. Cloth, $55.00,ISBN 0-8020-3738-0. Paper, $27.95,ISBN 0-8020-8528-8.)

Noting that accounts of deindustrialization in the United States, reflecting organizing efforts to reverse the trend, have tended to emphasize individual cities, Steven High takes a broader and potentially richer approach. By including the Canadian portion of the Great Lakes region most severely damaged by disinvestment, he seeks to demonstrate the central factors affecting the ability of workers to determine their own fates. Drawing on a number of cultural as well as economic and political factors, he argues that Canadians fared better than their counterparts in the United States. The weight of his own evidence suggests, however, that in neither case was labor a match for the power and influence of multinational corporations.
