This project has three components, including a forthcoming book with University of Chicago Press (2013) and a forthcoming documentary film made with director Chris Boebel. The book and film use family stories and home movies to explore the long-term impacts of deindustrialization in the former steel mill community of Southeast Chicago and to consider the impact of the loss of industrial jobs on expanding class inequalities in the United States. The third component of this project is an online collaborative documentary mapping project being made in conjunction with the Southeast Chicago Historical Museum.
