History has almost forgotten these immigrants, who were instrumental in developing the large urban centers of Michigan and the United States, and who in Michigan specifically contributed to the auto industry and struck in 1913-1914 for better working conditions in the copper mines of the Upper Peninsula. While labor problems were the primary obstacles confronting Michigan's South Slavs, the painful process of acculturation has since dimmed their very real accomplishments. As Daniel Cetinich shows, South Slavs helped shape both a regional and national civilization in North America with their hands, backs, feet, and the labor organizations they helped create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Cetinich\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2003, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, 99 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780870136436\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e111-C3643\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43465676259446,"sku":"111-C3643","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/111-c3643-1500px.png?v=1780756615","url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/products\/111-c3643","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
