While watching this documentary about dying Australian coal towns and their opposition to climate policy, it struck me how this situation is analogous to the deindustrialization that occurred in many cities, often where the whole town's economy was based around a factory or two (as opposed to a coal mine or two)

Are there books that go over the resistance put up from these towns? How it contributed to (for lack of a better term) the sort of "culture war" we see nowadays between old coal miners and younger, typically more urban, populations? How politicians and parties took part in these conflicts and sought to improve their prominence from them?

Doesn't have to be just america.
