| Summary |
"America's Other Automakers provides an interpretive history of foreign-owned automotive plants in mostly Southern states. The transplant industry's growth occurred in waves; the Japanese arrived first in the 1980s, followed by luxury German car-makers in the 1990s, and Korean manufacturers after 2000s. Choosing early examples from each wave, America's Other Automakers looks at foundational factories that paved the way for other automakers, especially from the same country, to follow. Through an archive of articles, statements issued by local government officials, failure of unionizing efforts, reports of discriminatory hiring and other primary sources, Minchin critically engages seven case studies of seven large assembly facilities and their impact on the communities they were built in"-- Provided by publisher |
