"A fascinating exploration of how identities are expressed through urban consumption. ... encourages us to reflect anew about our own entangled relationship with material objects and mobilities" John Eade, University of Roehampton
Table Of Content
one Introduction;two Researching Bradford: putting the 'auto' into ethnography;three Communicating cars: television, popular music and everyday life;four Consuming cars: class, ethnicity and taste;five Car work: production, consumption and modification;six Social psychology, cars and multi-ethnic spaces;seven Fun-loving criminal: speed, danger and race;eight Conclusion.
Synopsis
Love them or hate them, most of us have an opinion about cars. If not the cars themselves, then it's driver competence and behaviour that can offend us. And then there's modification: alloy wheels, custom audio systems and bespoke paint jobs. For some, changing the look, feel and sound of a car says something about themselves, but for others, such enhancements signify a lack of taste, or even criminality.In subtle and complex ways, cars transmit and modify our identities behind the wheel. As a symbol of independence and freedom, the car projects status, class, taste and, significantly, embeds racialisation. Using fascinating research from drivers, including first-person accounts as well as exploring hip-hop music and car-related TV shows, Alam unpicks the ways in which identity is rehearsed, enhanced, interpreted., Sociologist Yunis Alam o ffers new insights on how cars impact, moving beyond debates around the environment, traffic and safety, and instead focussing on gender, taste, ethnicity and class.
