Current scholarship about company towns generally depict workers and their families as helpless victims cast hither and yon by economic and historical forces, says Metheny (archaeology, Boston U.). Suspecting that there was more to their experience than that, she examines issues of worker agency and working-class behavior in the mining town of Helvetia, Pennsylvania from 1891 to 1947. Oral and documentary sources and architectural, material, and archaeological evidence are among her sources. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
