Who has decided how Europeans have dressed and dwelled? Traveled
and dined? Worked and played? Who, in fact, can be credited with
the shaping of Europe? Certainly inventors, engineers, and
politicians played their parts. But in the making of Europe,
consumers, tinkerers, and rebels were an unrecognized force - until
now. In this book, historians Ruth Oldenziel and Mikael Hard
spotlight the people who 'made' Europe - by appropriating
technology, protesting for and against it. Using examples from
Britain and the Continent, the authors illustrate the conflicts
that accompanied the modern technologies, from the sewing machine
to the bicycle, the Barbie doll to personal computers. What emerges
is a fascinating portrait of how Europeans have lived, from the
1850s to the current century.
