"Classic Coke" bottle
(used in introductory language classes)
French

A Classic Coke bottle, the symbol of American cultural imperialism for a French audience, sits near a pistol once used by a Mexican bandit. The pistol, although a weapon and tool, resides in Special Collections in the UCSB library because of its significance as a part of California's nineteenth-century social history. Plastic foods, photographs, and albums are all used by the French department as teaching aids.
