Commander plies four freighted modes of travel--the slave ship, train, automobile, and bus--to map the mobility of her ancestors over the past five centuries. In the process, she refreshes the conventional American travel narrative by telling an urgent story about how history shapes what moves us, as well as what prevents so many Black Americans from moving or being moved. Anchored in her maternal kin's long history on and alongside plantations in rural South Carolina, Commander explores her family members' ability and inability to navigate safely through space, time, and emotion, detailing how Black lives were shaped by the actual vehicles that promised an escape from the confines of American racism, yet nearly always failed to deliver on those promises. Using personal and public archives, Avidly Reads Passages unfolds distinct histories of transatlantic slavery ships, the possibilities presented by rail lines in the Reconstruction South, the fateful legacies of school busing, and the ways that Black Americans attempted to negotiate their automobility, including through the use of road and travel compendiums such as Travelguide and The Negro Motorist Green Book. 505 0 $a Machine generated contents note: 1.Ship -- 2.Train -- 3.Automobile -- 4.Bus. 600 10 $a Commander, Michelle D., $d 1978- 600 10 $a Commander, Michelle D., $d 1978- $x Family. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. 650 0 $a Black people $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $y 21st century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Slave trade $z Africa, West. 650 0 $a Black people $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 650 6 $a Noirs americains $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Racisme $z Etats-Unis $y 21e siecle. 650 6 $a Noirs americains $x Conditions sociales. 650 6 $a Esclavage $z Etats-Unis $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a Esclaves $x Commerce $z Afrique occidentale. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Histoire. $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Black people $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834005 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Slavery $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120484 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a Black people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833880 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Slave trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120405 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a West Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239521 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781479806133 830 0 $a Avidly reads. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D89BFF66EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
