Reviews
"A fascinating history of black travel...telling the sweeping story of black travel within Jim Crow America across four decades."
-- "New York Times Book Review"
"A nuanced commentary of how black bodies have been monitored, censured, or violated, and it compellingly pulls readers into the current news cycle."
-- "Los Angeles Times"
"Taylor, previously a Harvard fellow, gives the topic the context and meticulous research it deserves, while keeping an eye on current race relations."
-- "National Geographic"
"The strength of this book about a book lies in the street-level views through which the American road unspools in all its compromised glory."
-- "The Economist (London)"
Narrator Lisa Renee Pitts expertly blends the personal with the historical in Taylor's deep dive into the Green Book, the iconic travel guide for Black America in the pre-Civil Rights era.-- "AudioFile"
