Sommario/riassunto: | This work studies the automobile as both a tool and a cultural symbol of Brazil's status as a modern 'developed' nation. As such it addresses debates on state-making, the role of multi-national corporations in the region, middle-class consumerism, working-class politics, and much more. |
