By vividly portraying how it has often been marred by fear, violence, and tragic consequences, A Parallel Road boldly challenges the prevailing representations of the American dream of the road trip, which have long dominated our cultural landscape through artistic and literary mediums. Drawing upon the historical Negro Motorist Green Book, the work layers archival and contemporary images to examine the pressing question of how long the road will continue to be a perpetrator of violence and oppression against Black individuals in American society. Through its thought-provoking exploration, A Parallel Road offers a poignant reflection on the ongoing struggles and challenges faced by Black drivers, shedding light on the urgent need for change and progress in the realm of automotive equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 x 261 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781999446871\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amani Willett","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44093552656634,"sku":"9781999446871","price":16.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_54d01038-2b08-40dd-b208-622696f147a4.jpg?v=1646997349","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-parallel-road-9781999446871","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
