But behind that success was a harsh working environment and low wages, especially for the predominantly female workforce. There was appalling social distress, resulting in part from abysmal living conditions.\u003cbr\u003eAs the twentieth century dawned, a new Dundee was in the making. 'Juteopolis' no more; in the later twentieth century Dundee had pro claimed itself Scotland's 'City of Discovery'. Biosciences and computer games are what many people now associate with Dundee - although journalism is still flourishing. In what has become a university city, students abound where mill workers formerly promenaded.\u003cbr\u003eThis book traces the process of industrial decline and its social and political reverberations. But it is also a remarkable story of urban transformation, and how this impacted on jobs, the physical environment, social life, culture and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJute No More\u003c\/i\u003e is richly illustrated with over 60 images, most of them published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47773300490391,"sku":"9781399563574","price":2671.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781399563574.webp?v=1777978694","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jute-no-more-transforming-dundee-9781399563574","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
