This history of race, immigration, and management in the U.S. takes
critical race studies into areas of history, including history of
engineering, where it has little presence. From settlement and slavery
forward, the fostering of racial competition has marked labor
management practices. These have undergirded the phenomenal success of
U.S. transnational mine engineering; and, coexisted with rational
scientific management in shaping and in meatpacking and other
industries in Illinois and beyond, continuing to shape industrial
management.
