Review The Story of Reo Joe: Work, Kin, and Community in Autotown, U.S.A (Critical Perspectives on the Past) / Temple University Press:The Reo Motor Car Company operated in Lansing, Michigan, for seventy years, and encouraged its thousands of workers to think of themselves as part of a factory family. Reo workers, most typically white, rural, native-born Protestant men, were dubbed Reo Joes. These ordinary fellows had ordinary aspirations: job security, decent working conditions, and sufficient pay to support a family. They treasured leisure time for family activities (many sponsored by the company), hunting, and their fraternal organizations. Even after joining a union, Reo Joes remained loyal to the company and proud of the community built around it. Lisa M. Fine tells the Reo story from the workers' perspective on the vast social, economic, and political changes that took place in the first three quarters of the twentieth century. She explores their understanding of the city where they lived, the industry that employed them, and the ideas about work, manhood, race, and family that shaped their identities. The Story of Reo Joe is, then, a book about historical memory; it challenges us to reconsider what we think we know about corporate welfare, unionization, de-industrialization, and working-class leisure.

Review The Way We Work [Two Volumes]: An Encyclopedia of Business Culture / Greenwood Press:From "corner office" to "24/7" to "glass ceiling," the world of work has permeated every facet of our culture. The Way We Work explores in over 150 A-Z entries, the origins and impact of the concepts, ideas, people, fads, themes, and issues that have become part of the business "vernacular," shedding light on the dynamic ways in which business and society both influence and reflect each other. Covering such timely topics as Crisis Management, Outsourcing, and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, as well as such popular subjects as Casual Friday, Feng Shui, Napster, and Powerpoint, The Way We Work explains the background and context of each concept, discusses its proponents and detractors, provides examples, and considers its long-term impact on business and the culture at large. Assessing the evolving business environment in the context of technology development, globalization, and workplace diversity, The Way We Work covers the gamut of business-related topics, and how they affect our daily lives and careers. Featuring timelines and lists, sidebars, interviews with business leaders, facts and figures, print and on-line resources, quotations, keynote essays from respected management authors, cross-references, and a comprehensive index, this two-volume set will be a highly informative and entertaining guide to business culture for managers and front-line employees, educators and researchers, and high school and college students considering careers in business.
