Exploring the themes of mobility and freedom, the book delves into the historical constraints on black movement from slavery to contemporary times. Cervenak emphasizes the significance of wandering and daydreaming as acts of resistance against societal norms that criminalize black mobility. Through the works of artist-philosophers and figures like Sojourner Truth and Gayl Jones, she illustrates how these forms of movement challenge Enlightenment ideals and offer alternative ways of experiencing freedom that transcend physical limitations and societal expectations.
