| America's Other Automakers : A History of the Foreign-Owned Automotive Sector in the United States In 2018 almost half of all vehicles made in North America were produced at foreign-owned plants, and the sector was on track to monopolize the market. Despite this, the industry has been overlooked compared with its domestic counterpart, both in scholarship and popular memory. Redressing this neglect, America's Other Automakers provides a new history of the foreignowned auto sector, the first to extensively draw on archival sources and to articulate the human agency of participants, including workers, managers, and industry recruiters. Timothy James Minchin is professor of history at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of numerous books, including Labor under Fire: A History of the AFL-CIO since 1970 , Empty Mills: The Fight against Imports and the Decline of the U.S. Textile Industry , and, with Robert H. Zieger and Gilbert J. Gall, American Workers, American Unions. His articles have appeared in the Journal of Contemporary History, Labor History, and the Australasian Journal of American Studies , among others. |
