Anotácia knihy

This publication is the third in a series on the history of Dundee, as the trilogy ends with the story of Dundee in the 20th Century.As the Victorian era drew to a close, Dundee was the world's jute manufacturing capital - Juteopolis. But behind that success lay social distress - factory chimney's poured forth steam and smoke, housing was substandard and overcrowded, infant mortality was shockingly high. But as the present century dawned, a new Dundee was in the making. 'Juteopolis' no more; in its stead Dundee proclaimed itself Scotland's 'City of Discovery'. Biosciences and computer games are what many people now associate with Dundee. Students abound where mill workers formerly promenaded.This 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.Jute No More is richly illustrated with over sixty images, most of them published for the first time.
