Handmade Brick for Texas

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the historical significance of brickmaking in the lower Rio Grande/Rio Bravo corridor, the book explores its role as an early non-agricultural manufacturing industry and a precursor to the maquiladora sector following the 1965 Border Industrialization Program. Scott Cook's extensive research, initiated in the early 1990s, delves into the handmade brick industry's dynamics and its competitive landscape within the Texas market, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of the U.S.-Mexico border economy.
