Bodies and cutover landscapes were mobilized in new ways to increase the scale and efficiency of production—a brutal process for workers, human and animal alike. In the Northern Forest, an industrial working class formed in relation to the unique ways that workers' bodies were used to produce value and in relation to the seasonal cycles of the forest environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCutover Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e is an innovative historical study that combines methodological approaches from labor history, environmental history, and the new history of capitalism. The book tells a character-driven yet theoretically sophisticated story about what it was like to live through this process of industrialization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55892122665334,"sku":"9781959000297","price":23.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37503101_8f0513d5-41a6-4bbb-bb97-af36ab4b4af5.jpg?v=1762101468","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781959000297-cutover-capitalism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
