In the Service of Knowledge joins a growing body of literature that explores the rise of the so-called service economy, focusing historical attention on an understudied economic phenomenon in the twentieth century-the large-scale medical-educational complex in the transitioning South. Unlike other treatments of the "knowledge economy," this dissertation examines the development of the non-academic and non-professional workforce at one such anchor institution, Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina. Enormous nonprofit institutions of higher learning like Duke University imagined themselves as drivers of middle-class and high-technology growth, increasingly essential in a region with a history of poverty and cultural "backwardness." At the same time, they became employers of a large number of low-wage non-academic workers, creating new working-class communities as well. Long ignored in the historical literature, these workers and the cultural perception of their labors challenge our understandings of the knowledge economy.Swept up in a fundamental reorientation of the political economy in Durham, Duke administrators, clients, and workers initially marshaled and adapted existing understandings of gender, race, and class in order to make sense of the burgeoning non-academic workforce on campus. In so doing, they often reinforced and repackaged patterns of racial and gender inequality in both social and spatial terms. Buoyed by contemporary social movements, mostly black non-academic workers began to challenge the low-wages and racial scripts that structured their labors in the 1960s and 1970s. However, Duke administrators, like those elsewhere, managed to beat back many of these challenges by appealing to the university's reputation and nonprofit character, laying the groundwork for the vast disparities within universities today.
