Location: Pebble Hill
Please join us for a book talk with Sunny Stalter-Pace, author of UNDERGROUND MOVEMENTS: MODERN CULTURE ON THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY.
For more than a century the New York City subway system has been a vital part of the city’s identity, even as judgments of its value have varied. It has been celebrated as the technological embodiment of the American melting pot and reviled as a blighted urban
netherworld. UNDERGROUND MOVEMENTS explores the many meanings of the subway by looking back at the era when it first ascended to cultural prominence, from its opening in 1904 through the mid-1960s.
Stalter-Pace is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Auburn University.
The event is free, open to the public, and will be followed by refreshments.
