Resistance in the Deceleration Lane: Velocentrism, Slow Culture and Everyday Practice

by Marzena Kubisz

The book is largely concerned with the history of Western culture of speed that forms the framework within which the phenomenon of slow living is placed. A comprehensive analysis of practices and representations of deceleration in everyday life - slow travel, slow London and slow lit - suggests the rise of a post-slow stage in the history of speed.
