Description
This collection of engaging black-and-white photographs captures America from the driver's seat. Offering fresh perspectives on the United States' iconic highways, byways, back roads, and small-town main streets, Mark Chester puts America's unique spirit of innovation on full display. With humor and pathos, Roadshow Anthropology explores high and low culture and the worlds of commerce, architecture, design, advertising, and fashion. As a social commentator and a connoisseur of Americana, Chester pays homage to a range of influences, including the work of photojournalist Lee Friedlander.

Reviews
"For some, a cross-country trip means a chance to get a sense of life beyond the highways and byways. However, in his most recent book, Roadshow Anthropology, photographer Mark Chester has taken a very different perspective. He finds inspiration without ever leaving the road, just observing the interesting, humorous, and quirky things. . .through the windshield of his car."--Gwyn McAllister, Martha's Vineyard Times
