Surfing today evokes many things: thundering waves, warm beaches, bikinis and lifeguards, and carefree pleasure. But is the story of surfing really as simple as popular culture suggests? In this first international political history of the sport, Scott Laderman shows that while wave riding is indeed capable of stimulating tremendous pleasure, its globalization went hand in hand with the blood and repression of the long twentieth century. Emerging as an imperial instrument in post-annexation Hawaii, spawning a form of tourism that conquered the littoral Third World, tracing the struggle against South African apartheid, and employed as a diplomatic weapon in America's Cold War arsenal, the saga of modern surfing is only partially captured by Gidget, the Beach Boys, and the film Blue Crush. From nineteenth-century American empire-building in the Pacific to the low-wage labor of the surf industry today, Laderman argues that surfing in fact closely mirrored American foreign relations. Yet despite its less-than-golden past, the sport continues to captivate people worldwide. Whether in El Salvador or Indonesia or points between, the modern history of this cherished pastime is hardly an uncomplicated story of beachside bliss. Sometimes messy, occasionally contentious, but never dull, surfing offers us a whole new way of viewing our globalized world.--

In dit boek schetsen verschillende auteurs een geschiedenis van de Belgische kusttram, die in 2010 zijn 125e verjaardag viert. Na een voorwoord door Hilde Crevits, Vlaams minister van mobiliteit en openbare werken, volgt een amalgaam aan teksten en zwart-wit- en kleurenfoto's (zowel historische beelden als artistieke impressies van fotograaf Michiel Hendrickx). Dat alles werd ondergebracht in vijf thematische delen - 'Sporen', 'Tussenstops', 'Mensen', 'Uitzichten' en 'Bestemmingen' - die telkens worden ingeleid met een korte poëtische tekst door schrijver Bernard Dewulf. De overige teksten behandelen erg uiteenlopende onderwerpen, zoals de traminfrastructuur, het alledaagse leven op de tram, de architectuur rond de tramlijn etc. Aan de positieve stemming van heel wat stukken is te zien dat ze zijn geschreven in opdracht van vervoersmaatschappij De Lijn. Bovendien is het onderwerp allicht wat te beperkt voor een ruim publiek. Anderzijds zorgt het vele beeldmateriaal wel voor een sfeervol en soms nostalgisch beeld van de Belgische kust en de kusttram.
