With the economy struggling, there has been much discussion about
the effects of deindustrialization on American manufacturing. While
the steel and auto industries have taken up most of the spotlight,
the textile and apparel industries have been profoundly affected.
In Empty Mills, Timothy Minchin provides the first book length
study of how both industries have suffered since WWII and the
unwavering efforts of industry supporters to prevent that decline.
In 1985, the textile industry accounted for one in eight
manufacturing jobs, and unlike the steel and auto industries, more
than fifty percent of the workforce was women or minorities. In the
last four decades over two million jobs have been lost in the
textile and apparel industries alone as more and more of the
manufacturing moves overseas. Impeccably well researched, providing
information on both the history and current trends, Empty Mills
will be of importance to anyone interested in economics, labor, the
social historical, as well as the economic significance of the
decline of one of America's biggest industries.
