A look at American culture by a British cockney, a French inspired, Idaho influenced observer on the dialogue between drivers on the roads of the USA as evidenced from their bumper stickers.
Photos of the stickers are interspersed with commentaries and reflections explaining the ideas expressed and setting the pictures in the context of American culture and society. Those ideas include the political, the social and the mores of American society. Car owners want everyone to know what they think. On occasion, this is interesting and concerns major political and social questions. Other times it is less profound, but reveals a comic undercurrent to the sticker dialogue.
Many of the more interesting bumper stickers revolve around the questions of religion, abortion, guns, patriotism, women’s rights, and the environment.
The book is in English with French translations of the bumper stickers.
