Bicycle/Race: Adonia Lugo Talks the Cultural Anthropology of Cycling
Professor Adonia Lugo joins me to talk about her new book "Bicycle/Race" which explores the cultural anthropology of transportation, infrastructure, and race in Los Angeles. Beginning with the origins of development in the Los Angeles basin, tracing development with the freeways and the rise of car culture, Lugo paints a vivid picture of how we built a flawed infrastructure.\n\nCycling presents a unique way to explore and interact with your city, you are physically more present in your environment and, as such, more vulnerable. Who are our roads built to protect? Who's best served by improvements? How does gentrification build only to displace?\n\n"Bike/Race" is available now from Microcosm Publishing\nYou can buy the book here: https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/books/7833\nTo learn more about People for Mobility Justice: https://www.peopleformobilityjustice.org/home\nTo follow Professor Lugo:http://www.urbanadonia.com/p/about_22.html
