For the latter, the automobile was the ticket to personal freedom and a piece of the imagined consumer paradise of the West. For the authorities, the personal car was a private, mobile space that challenged the most basic assumptions of the collectivity. The "socialist car"-and the car culture that built up around it-was the result of an always unstable compromise between official ideology, available resources, and the desires of an increasingly restless citizenry. In The Socialist Car, eleven scholars from Europe and North America explore in vivid detail the interface between the motorcar and the state socialist countries of Eastern Europe, including the USSR. In addition to the metal, glass, upholstery, and plastic from which the Ladas, Dacias, Trabants, and other still extant but aging models were fabricated, the socialist car embodied East Europeans' longings and compromises, hopes and disappointments. The socialist car represented both aspirations of overcoming the technological gap between the capitalist first and socialist second worlds and dreams of enhancing personal mobility and status. Certain features of automobility-shortages and privileges, waiting lists and lack of readily available credit, the inadequacy of streets and highways-prevailed across the Soviet Bloc. In this collective history, the authors put aside both ridicule and nostalgia in the interest of trying to understand the socialist car in its own context. 606 $aAutomobiles$xSocial aspects$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAutomobiles$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade$xSocial aspects$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aSocialism and culture$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocialism and culture$zSoviet Union$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAutomobiles$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAutomobiles$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aAutomobile industry and trade$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAutomobile industry and trade$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aSocialism and culture$xHistory 615 0$aSocialism and culture$xHistory. 676 $a388.3/42094709045 701 $aSiegelbaum$b Lewis H$0128086 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453529103321 996 $aThe socialist car$92453143 997 $aUNINA
