Reviews
Overground Railroad is an eye-opening, deeply moving social history of American segregation and black migration during the middle years of the 20th century., With passion, conviction, and clarity, [Candacy] Taylor's book unearths a fascinating and true--if not willfully obscured--history of African American activism and entrepreneurship in the United States. This remarkable study broadens our understanding of black life, leisure, and struggles for equality in twentieth-century America, presents the Green Book as a social movement in response to a crisis in black travel, and makes a compelling case for the need to protect more diverse African American sites that have been heretofore underappreciated., Overground Railroad reorients the narrative of allure surrounding Route 66 in order to account for the grim reality of the violence that black people faced on that old American road., In offering tangible actions readers can take, Taylor has created a valuable document that, like The Green Book itself, serves as a bittersweet handbook of resilience in the face of injustice., Taylor, previously a Harvard fellow, gives the topic the context and meticulous research it deserves, while keeping an eye on current race relations., ...her book is a moving and needed history. The overt white nationalism of our era highlights the covert racism that never went away., "Candacy Taylor not only examines the history of the Green Book, but also dives into what its impact means for Black individuals and families today." - Bustle, The overarching story of the Green Book reminds us that individual acts of bravery contributed immeasurably to standing up to segregation., ...a fascinating history of black travel.. telling the sweeping story of black travel within Jim Crow America across four decades., An enriching look at African American history through the lens of the black motorist, and as one of the few books on the subject, this is essential for most collections.

Synopsis
The first book to explore the historical role and residual impact of the Green Book , a travel guide for black motorists Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the "black travel guide to America." At that time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because black travelers couldn't eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book , and Overground Railroad celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. It shows the history of the Green Book , how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations in America., A New York Times Notable Book, Overground Railroad is the first book to explore the historical role and residual impact of the Green Book , a travel guide for Black motorists used for decades when traveling through segregated America. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book , and Overground Railroad celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. It shows the history of the Green Book , how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations and systemic racism in America. Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the "Black travel guide to America." At that time, it was both dangerous and difficult for African Americans to travel, because Black travelers couldn't eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for Black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. Candacy Taylor writes in her introduction, "The Green Book was published during a time when car travel symbolized freedom in America, but since racial segregation was in full force throughout the country, the open road wasn't open to all. When Black motorists picked up a copy of the Green Book , they were greeted by the words 'Just What You Have Been Looking For!! NOW WE CAN TRAVEL WITHOUT EMBARRASSMENT.'" Chapters include: Driving While Black The Business of the Green Book Vacation Music Venues The Roots of Route 66 Women and the Green Book And more Includes color and black-and-white illustrations

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.

    A Great Read and Eye Opening.

    A terrific book about "Traveling while Black" when Jim Crow was evident across America . . . NOT Just in The South. Informative, entertaining, and enjoyable to read.

    Relevant to our project.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. I am involved in a reconstruction of the James Street Black Business district in Goldsboro NC. This book will be very helpful for the project. Thank you. r
