But just a century ago, white-collar jobs were new and their future anything but certain. In \u003ci\u003eCompany Men\u003c\/i\u003e Clark Davis places the corporate office at the heart of American social and cultural history, examining how the nation's first generation of white-collar men created new understandings of masculinity, race, community, and success--all of which would dominate American experience for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCompany Men\u003c\/i\u003e is set in Los Angeles, the nation's \"corporate frontier\" of the early twentieth century. Davis shows how this California city--often considered on the fringe of American society for the very reason that it was new and growing so rapidly--displayed in sharp contours how America's corporate culture developed. The young men who left their rural homes for southern California a century ago not only helped build one of the world's great business centers, but also redefined middle-class values and morals. Of interest to students of business history, gender studies, and twentieth-century culture, this work focuses on the \"company man\" as a pivotal actor in the saga of modern American history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47781064573079,"sku":"9780801862755","price":2554.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801862755.webp?v=1778050316","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/company-men-white-collar-life-and-corporate-cultures-in-los-angeles-1892-1941-9780801862755","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
