Descriere
Driving with strangers is a manifesto to alter how we think about the world at a time of climate crisis, isolation and social breakdown. Through the philosophies of hitchhiking, the book brings into focus the uniqueness of cooperation and positive messages about human capabilities of friendship, endurance and openness. Purkis explores the different aspects of hitchhiking as seen from the kerbside, including its history, freedoms, gifts, economics, risk, cooperation, empathy and ecology. With chapters such as 'In Search of Woody Guthrie' and 'The Alaska Highway Hitchhiker's Visitor's Book: The personality of the extreme hitchhiker,' the reader is taken on a panoramic road trip through a century of hitchhiking across different decades, countries and continents. Jonathan Purkis, the original vagabond sociologist, is the perfect passenger to accompany you on a journey away from isolation, social distancing, closed borders and into a better understanding of why and how strangers can enrich our lives.
