Ethnographers use conventional anthropological practice to explore the metaphoric value of vehicles for identity, history, and society in different cultures. In sections on people as vehicles, vehicles as gendered people, and equivocal vehicles, they discuss such topics as living canoes as vehicles of moral imagination among the Murik of Papua New Guinea, using a gender metaphor to make sense of old warplanes in North America, gender metaphors and cognitive schemas in recessionary Japan, Yugoslav Fica as a vehicle for social commentary and ritual restoration of innocence, metaphors of cars and corruption in China, ambivalent aesthetics in Mexican American lowrider cars, and traversing life and death in a lynching reenactment by African Americans.
