This book presents the key issues, debates, concepts, approaches,
and questions that together define the lives of rural people living
in extreme poverty in the aftermath of political violence in a
developing country context. Divided into nine chapters, the book
addresses issues such as the complexities of human suffering,
losing trust, psychic wounds, dealing with post-traumatic stress
situations, and disillusionment after change. By building knowledge
about human and social suffering in a post-conflict environment,
the book counters the objectification of human and social suffering
and the moral detachment with which it is associated. In addition,
it presents practical ways to help make things better. It discusses
new methodological concepts based around empathy and participation
to show how the subjective reality of human and social suffering
matter. Finally, the book maps a burgeoning field of enquiry based
around the need for linking psychosocial approaches with the actual
lived experience of individuals and groups.

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 J. Minchin challenges
the view that the industry's growth primarily reflected incentives,
stressing human agency and the complexity of individual stories
instead. Deeply human in its approach, the book also explores the
industry's impact on grassroots communities, showing that it had
more costs than supporters acknowledged. Drawing on a wide range of
primary and secondary sources, America's Other Automakers uncovers
significant tensions over unionization, reports of discriminatory
hiring, and unease about the industry's rapid growth, critically
exploring seven large assembly facilities and their impact on the
communities in which they were built.
