Transience: Social Mobility in Middletown, 1890-1979.

Young, Lawrence A.; Chadwick, Bruce

Indiana Social Studies Quarterly, v38 n2 p25-35 Aut 1985

A replication of the 1920 Lynd study of everday life in Middletown, a typical America community, is presented. Data reveal that while Middletown did experience rapid change between 1890 and 1920 as the Industrial Revolution swept through middle America, there has been a significantly slower rate of change since then.
