Immerse yourself in the compelling narrative of 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body', published by Princeton University Press. This insightful text, with ISBN 9780691208190, delves into the fascinating intersection of design, race, and gender during the postwar period in America. Discover how mid-century Modernism, an iconic aesthetic movement, was not merely a stylistic choice but a profound societal statement laden with implications about identity and privilege.

In this groundbreaking exploration, author Kristina Wilson analyzes the marketing strategies and presentation of Modernist decor, emphasizing the notions of race and gender that shaped consumer perceptions. Spanning various mediums including advertisements from major publications like Life and Ebony, furniture by renowned designers such as George Nelson, and everyday objects, this book reveals how mid-century design influenced ideas of security, comfort, and social status.

Furthermore, Wilson illuminates how the domestic roles prescribed to women were fortified by the narratives surrounding Modernist furnishings.

'Kings of style exhibits in the context of race and gender may yield a narrative that challenges our understanding of aesthetics in design.' This rich, scholarly work invites readers to revisit the complexities of Modernism beyond mere visual appeal and confronts the socio-political implications of design choices. Perfect for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of design history, 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body' stands as an essential addition to any library. Explore the unvarnished truths behind the era's celebrated designs and their enduring legacy.

Reliable and dependable
Style: 17548N
I installed a new starter on my 1995 Dodge Ram Cummins, and it has exceeded my expectations. Ive had it for about 20k miles now. Installation was straightforward, and the starter fit perfectly without any modifications. From the first turn of the key, it cranked the engine smoothly and reliably at a great price. Since installing it, my truck starts every time, even in cold mornings, which has been a huge relief. The starter feels durable and well-built, giving me confidence that it will last for years of regular use. It’s clear that this is a quality part designed for heavy-duty performance, just what you need on a classic Cummins diesel. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this starter. If you’re looking for a reliable, strong, and easy-to-install replacement for your Dodge Ram Cummins, this one is an excellent choice.

Good quality except for the supplied bolts.
Style: 18493N
So far starter works great. Be careful if you use the supplied bolts. They are not good quality. The last thing you want to do is snap them off in the block. The starter itself really spins the engine over. If it lives long, it's a great deal for the money.
