Thank you for all that contacted me. This panel is now full.
There were many liberties taken in Matewan. Sayles acknowledged some of them in his book Thinking in Pictures. Few Clothes wasn't part of any of the events depicted in the film; he took part in a related struggle. The film's bittersweet ending is one of numeorus compressed moments. Matewan was one of a series of upheavals linked to the longer Battle of Blair Mountain, which even included aerial bombings of strikers and gun gangs hiding in the hills. (That wasn't as bad as it could have been as it was the early days of flight and bombing was not very accurate.)
Hello,
I am a 5th year PhD Candidate at Mississippi State University working on 20th century labor in the Sunbelt South. I am seeking other scholars for a panel focused on 20th century southern labor, unionization, recreation/theme parks, and/or political realignment.
My paper will examine narratives of labor at the Walt Disney parks and contrast them with the work done by cast members and explore thier unionization efforts.
