Car Cultures (Materializing Culture)
'This book will be a welcome addition to the growing number of courses that look at the impact the automobile has had and is having in the world. Highly recommended for all collections.' Choice 'At last! A book which not only takes a wide-ranging and nuanced approach to the contradictory relations between humans and cars, but also places that research within a cosmopolitan empirical and theoretical framework.' The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology          'Car cultures does offer a rather different take on car use and abuse than found in the usual anti-car environmentalist genre. Perhaps the core difference is that whereas much is written about the interaction of the car and its surrounding environment, rather less serious research is devoted to how people and cars interact.'
