CATHERINE LUTZ & ANNE LUTZ FERNANDEZ

08/07/2010 5:00 pm
Average American families spend over $14,000 per year on their cars. Adding this to rising gas prices, wars over oil, global warming, rising rates of asthma and obesity, and a yearly highway death toll exceeding 40,000, and the costs of maintaining our car-centric culture as it is looks unsustainable. Anthropologist Catherine Lutz and her sister, former investment banker Anne Lutz Fernandez, examine these issues and offer some personal and policy level solutions in Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile & Its Effect on Our Lives (Palgrave Macmillan). "Exceptionally well-researched and passionately, yet logically argued, Carjacked will make you rethink your relationship not only with your car, but with the entire economic and physical infrastructure that has built up around it." – Clay Paska. Catherine Lutz and Anne Lutz Fernandez will also speak at a program sponsored by the Seattle Department of Transportation on Friday, August 6 at 3 p.m. in the Bertha Landes Room of Seattle's City Hall.
