But behind that success was a harsh working environment and low wages, especially for the predominantly female workforce. There was appalling social distress, resulting in part from abysmal living conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the twentieth century dawned, a new Dundee was in the making. 'Juteopolis' no more; in the later twentieth century Dundee had pro claimed itself Scotland's 'City of Discovery'. Biosciences and computer games are what many people now associate with Dundee - although journalism is still flourishing. In what has become a university city, students abound where mill workers formerly promenaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJute No More is richly illustrated with over 60 images, most of them published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57130804117879,"sku":"9781399563574","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781399563574.jpg?v=1780064228","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781399563574","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
