About American Made
American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears is a 2021 non-fiction book by Farah Stockman that focused on Rexnord ball-bearing factory workers whose fate and jobs were uncertain following an announcement of the factory's closure. Stockman explored the overlay between blue collar workers, rural America and 2016 Trump voters and how the economy, political decisions and eventually COVID-19 impacted their job security. The book went into further exploration of race, gender, and social justice issues, and in the case of one employee, prior factory relocations that impacted his financial well-being.
