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.
