As Detroit reached dizzying new heights of industrial success and urban growth at the turn of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of migrants flocked to the Motor City. In response, organizations such as the YMCA launched wide-reaching Americanization programs to instill patriotism, conservative gender roles, traditional family values, and industry-favorable labor relations in the city\u2019s immigrant communities. As the \u201CFord Man\u201D became a model for masculinity and the housewife for femininity, supporters of these programs believed Detroit could become a model for the nation. In this impressively researched book, Nicole Greer Golda reveals how the Detroit Model became embedded in American culture and forged the ideal of proper American citizenship.\nDelving into Immigration Bureau\n\nThe Detroit Model\nManufacturing American Men and Women in the Industrial City\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal M;
