| Description | The book offers a reconsideration of the role railroads and streetcars played in transforming the conditions of individual liberty at the dawn of the 20th century. The author discusses the law of accidental injury, nervous shock, and racial segregation in public transit. It captures Americans' journey from a cultural and legal ethos celebrating manly independence and autonomy to one that recognized and sought to protect the individual against the corporate power, modern technology and modern urban space. |
