About this title

Synopsis

To explore the question of the church’s role in Western economic systems, Mr. Pope presents a pioneering study of the actual role played by the church in the industrial community Gastonia, North Carolina. He has written a brilliant criticism of the relationship between the textile mills and the churches, with broad implications for industry and church.

From the Back Cover

Liston Pope describes the historical background and surrounding events of a strike which occurred in a single cotton mill in the small city of Gastonia, North Carolina, in 1929. No strike has received more penetrating analysis, and seldom has one particular episode been made to illumine so many others.
