Meet Joe Copper - Masculinity and Race on Montana''s World War II Home Front

Summary

Describes the formation of a masculine ideology in the decades prior to the war, and shows how it thrived - on the job, and through union politics. This title provides a context for our ideas of postwar masculinity and whiteness and finally returns the men of the home front to our reckoning of the Greatest Generation and the New Deal era.
