Product Description

Review
Rarely does one have the opportunity to read a book in manuscript form which is likely to become a classic of its kind. David Gartman's Auto-Opium is an extremely impressive work...a very pleasurable read.... - Jim McGuigan, Coventry University

...an exemplary sociological analysis of American's infatuation with gasoline-powered dreams and how such dreams both fuel and fuse individual identity with that of the nation state. - Peter McLaren, Graduate School of Education, University of California at Los Angeles

Product Description
Provides a comprehensive history of the profession and aesthetics of American automobile design. Gartman reveals how the appearance of the automobile was shaped by the social conflicts arising from America's mass production system.
