Riding the New York Subway
A history of New York subway passengers as they navigated the system's constraints while striving for individuality, or at least a smooth ride. When the subway first opened with much fanfare on October 27, 1904, New York became a city of underground passengers almost overnight. In this book, Stefan Höhne examines how the experiences of subway passengers in New York City were intertwined with cultural changes in urban mass society throughout the twentieth century. Höhne argues that underground transportation--which early passengers found both exhilarating and distressing--changed perceptions, interactions, and the organization of everyday life.

Togo
Ghana, West Africa, 1971. The author arrives from New York City to meet an old friend for a spectacular rock concert, "Soul to Soul" in Accra's Black Star Square. The social warmth, the good humor and the beauty of the people they meet is overwhelming, and the two friends soon find it again and again in Lomé, the capital of neighboring Togo; in the up-country villages of that tiny country, and in their far-flung travels through Nigeria and the cities of the Sahel: Kano, Mopti, Agadez, Djenné. Marvelous places are vividly described, and everywhere in this memoir there is a glad recognition of the deep humanity of African culture. The book is fully illustrated with photograph, illustration and reproduction of Togolese art and crafts.
