(Caught in the Machinery draws on social, cultural, and le...)
Caught in the Machinery draws on social, cultural, and legal history to bring to life the dangers facing working people in Great Britain between 1800 and the first British Employer's Liability Act of 1880. Autobiographies, songs, and broadsides provide a window onto the cultural meanings of workplace accidents and contrast those meanings with the views of humanitarian onlookers and the Victorian press. The book is uniquely attentive to the broader Anglo-American context; in the nineteenth century, Great Britain and the United States shared a common-law regime that was singularly unfriendly to workers, but each country eventually developed workers' compensation in response to very different sets of pressures.

The first book-length biography on the subject, this account details the history behind John Francis Bray, a man hailed later in life as the "Benjamin Franklin of American labor." This biography surveys Bray's experiences and ideas under all his labels - radical, chartist, writer, farmer, and democrat - as well as the impact he had in England and the United States from the 1830s to the end of the century. The chapters draw on original research through primary sources, including Bray's diaries, letters to and from his family, manuscripts, and newspapers. During his time in England, Bray worked as an apprentice printer, was a writer for the Chartist cause, and authored Labour's Wrongs and Labour's Remedy and A Voyage from Utopia to Several Unknown Regions of the World. From the 1840s on he lived in America, farming and starting a family in Michigan. He was briefly a newspaper editor sympathetic to the Democrats and responded to issues of Spiritualism, the Civil War, slavery, and secession of the South. In the 1870s, Bray wrote God and Man: A Unity, supported the Socialistic Labor Party, and joined the Knights of Labor. His later years are also touched upon, when he was a correspondent with the labor press and helped to shape the new Populist Party of the 1890s.

2012Bronstein has been interested in transhumanism since 2006, having done a lot of research and reading on such topics as biohappiness, superlongevity, cryonics, personhood, and artificial intelligence, and the ethical implications of life-sustaining technologies. Jamie’s interests lie in the nexus between transhumanism and the humanities, and in contextualizing this movement within the broader, post-Enlightenment drive to use social movements to promote the human (and post-human) good. It is her belief that new technologies ought to be introduced in ways that respect diversity and take into account the goals and preferences of minority groups and women, who may be underrepresented in the sciences and in policymaking. She is also interested in the implications of the introduction of new technologies for empowering or disempowering people in developing countries.
Jamie Bronstein's primary motivation for writing is that she loves to craft a good story. As it turns out Jamie Bronstein is a historian, not an author of fiction, but there are many historical subjects whose lives and experiences would be ignored if labor and working-class historians did not seek to rescue them from the allegation of insignificance. She admires E. P. Thompson, whose Making of the English Working Class has shaped both her research agenda and her personal goals.
Quotations: "In order to write, I immerse myself in the archives and read, read, read. The notes I take there seem to grow organically into research questions and chapters. This is surely not the most coherent way to craft a historical monograph but it has the benefit of letting the material speak for itself to a great extent. My own personal biases are less able to drive the work than they would be had I chosen a fixed hypothesis from the beginning."
Jamie Bronstein was a member of the American Historical Association. She was also a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
Jamie Bronstein is kind and friendly. She is quite curious and smart.
Physical Characteristics: Jamie Bronstein has short brown hair. Jamie has a charming smile. She wears glasses.
Jamie L. Bronstein married Michael J. Zigmond on August 22, 1998. He was an engineer. They had got a child, Evan B. Zigmond.
