Divergent Heritages: Two Case of Labor Conflict
Author(s): Maura A Bainbridge
Year: 2018
Summary
Ludlow, Colorado and the Pullman neighborhood of Chicago present two contrasting examples of a postindustrial environment. Both were the sites of significant labor conflicts of the 20th century, but their preservations have taken opposite paths. Today Pullman stands as a National Monument and historic district, while Ludlow is a granite memorial in a so-called ghost town. This paper compares both the material aspects of these postindustrial environments and the publics who interact with them. Using contemporary archaeological methods, and visitor survey to the site, I will explore how contemporary archaeology can negotiate the complicated spheres of labor, conflict, development, heritage, and tourism.
