- Description
- Defining the kitchen as a complex technological artifact as important as computers, cars, and nuclear missiles, the book examines the ways in which a range of social actors in Europe shaped the kitchen as both ideological construct and material practice. These actors—from manufacturers and modernist architects to housing reformers and feminists—constructed and domesticated the technological innovations of the postwar kitchen. The home became a 'mediation junction' in which women users and others felt free to advise producers from the consumer's point of view. In essays illustrated by striking period photographs, the contributors to Cold War Kitchen consider such topics as Soviet consumers' ambivalent responses to the American dream kitchen argued over by Nixon and Khrushchev: the Frankfurter Küche, a European modernist kitchen of the interwar period (and its export to Turkey when its designer fled the Nazis): and the British state-subsidized kitchen design so innovative that it was mistaken for a luxury American product. The concluding essays challenge the received wisdom of past interpretations of the kitchen debate.

- Description
- This book tells the story of the interactions and connections of black colonial migrants and white feminists in the social, cultural, and political world of interwar Paris. Between world war I and II, Paris attracted inhabitants from Africa, the Caribbean and the United States and became both their home and a site for political engagement. The book explores why and how black colonial migrants and white feminists were denied certain rights, how they suffered from sensationalist images in popular culture and how they fought for equality in ways that were often interpreted as politically subversive.
