520    "Shannon, Wally, and John built their lives around their 
       place of work. Shannon, a white single mother, became the 
       first woman to run the factory's dangerous furnaces at the
       Rexnord manufacturing plant in Indianapolis and was proud 
       of producing one of the world's top brands of steel 
       bearings. Wally, a black man known for his initiative and 
       kindness, was promoted to become chairman of efficiency, 
       one of the most coveted posts on the factory floor, and 
       dreamed of starting his own barbecue business one day. 
       John, a white machine operator, came from a 
       multigenerational union family and clashed with a work 
       environment that was increasingly hostile to organized 
       labor. The Rexnord factory had served as one of the 
       economic engines for the surrounding community. When the 
       factory closed, hundreds of people lost their jobs. What 
       had life been like for Shannon, Wally, and John, before 
       the factory closed? And what became of them after the 
       factory moved to Mexico and Texas? American Made is a 
       story about people and a community struggling to reinvent 
       itself. It is also a story about race, class, and American
       values, and how jobs serve as a bedrock of people's lives 
       and drive powerful social justice movements. This 
       revealing book is also about this political moment, when 
       joblessness and uncertainty about the future of work have 
       made themselves heard at a national level. Most of all it 
       is a story about people: who we consider to be one of us, 
       and how the dignity of work lies at the heart of who we 
       are"--|cProvided by publisher.
