The Social Life of Company Towns

Workshop organized by Noam Maggor, Paris IAS Fellow, and the United States Political Economy Lab, with the participation of Emma Teitelman (Penn State). This event is supported by the American University of Paris and the Paris Institute for Advanced Study.

Emman Teitelman will present a chapter from her book project on the transformations of American capitalism and the U.S. state after the Civil War, showing that the fall of southern slavery brought profound change not only to the lives of enslaved people but also to national patterns of economic development, government activities, and colonial practices. 

Event closed to the public.
