Pacific Automobilism: Adventure, Status and the Carnival of Mobility, 1970-2015
Pacific Automobilism: Adventure, Status and the Carnival of Mobility, 1970-2015
The beginning of the 21st century has seen important shifts in mobility cultures around the world, as the West's media-driven car culture has contrasted with existing local mobilities, from rickshaws in India and minibuses in Africa to cycling in China. In this expansive volume, historian Gijs Mom explores how contemporary mobility has been impacted by social, political, and economic forces on a global scale, as in light of local mobility cultures, the car as an 'adventure machine' seems to lose cultural influence in favor of the car's status character.
