Overground Railroad: The Green Book and the Roots of Black Travel in America

byCandacy Taylor

Overground Railroad is Candacy Taylor's novel of the Green Book and the Roots of Black Travel in America. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of juvenile nonfiction. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
