Publisher's Synopsis
This multi-layered work explores the Black experience of driving in America over the past 85 years. By picturing how it has too often been marked by fear, violence and death, 'A Parallel Road' challenges representations of the American ideal of the road trip that have long dominated our view through artistic and literary media. It examines the question of how long the road will continue to be a site of violence and oppression for Black people in American society.
