{"product_id":"if-cars-could-walk-ger-duijzings-9781805390312","title":"If Cars Could Walk: Postsocialist Streets in Transformation","description":"\u003cp\u003e In the last twenty-five years, the explosive rise of car mobility has transformed street life in postsocialist cities. Whereas previously the social fabric of these cities ran on socialist modes of mobility, they are now overtaken by a culture of privately owned cars. \u003cem\u003eIf Cars Could Walk\u003c\/em\u003e uses ethnographic cases studies documenting these changes in terms of street interaction, vehicles used, and the parameters of speed, maneuverability, and cultural and symbolic values. The altered reality of people's movements, replacing public transport, bicycles and other former 'socialist' modes of mobility with privatized mobility reflect an evolving political and cultural imagination, which in turn shapes their current political reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ger Duijzings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805390317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805390312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Ger Duijzings","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129129234687,"sku":"9781805390312","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c4a2bd7-b333-472e-8d32-5f3db1834855.jpg?v=1687462220","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/if-cars-could-walk-ger-duijzings-9781805390312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
