Fast cars, clean bodies : decolonization and reordering of French culture / Kristin Ross

Main Author Ross, Kristin Publication Cambridge : The MIT Press, 1999 Description X, 261 p. : il. ; 23 cm ISBN 0262680912 Abstract Fast Cars, Clean Bodies examines the crucial decade from Dien Bien Phu to the mid-1960s when France shifted rapidly from an agrarian, insular, and empire-oriented society to a decolonized, Americanized, and fully industrial one. In this analysis of a startling cultural transformation, Kristin Ross finds the contradictions of the period embedded in its various commodities and cultural artifacts—automobiles, washing machines, women's magazines, film, popular fiction, even structuralism—as well as in the practices that shape, determine, and delimit their uses.
