In the tradition of Studs Terkel . . . Years of motion are covered in visually descriptive language which wraps around perfectly chosen metaphors and shorthand images standing in for larger social phenomena.-Todd Mercer, ForeWord "[Weston's] eyes are sharp and her heart is in the right place. A gritty portrait of hard-pressed people moving through some of the least attractive real estate in America."- Kirkus Reviews "Brilliant, haunting, powerful, and ultimately inspiring . . . The nation needs to reckon with what Weston has uncovered."-Juliet Schor " Traveling Light stands as that rare thing, a work of witness. But it is also that rarest thing, a great read. In the tradition of adventuresome road books and anguished social commentary, Weston has created a testament to the abiding greatness of our national soul."-Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Devil's Highway "[An] accessible gem . . . This book is a piece of 21st-century Americana in motion, and its characters and cities will resonate and linger with readers."- Publishers Weekly "[Weston] is gifted in making real contact with the most unlikely people who are not unlikely to her."-Barbara Rich, Charlottesville Daily Progress, "In the tradition of Studs Terkel … Years of motion are covered in visually descriptive language which wraps around perfectly chosen metaphors and shorthand images standing in for larger social phenomena." -Todd Mercer,ForeWord "Brilliant, haunting, powerful, and ultimately inspiring … The nation needs to reckon with what Weston has uncovered." -Juliet Schor "Traveling Lightstands as that rare thing, a work of witness.

Synopsis
How far can you get on two tacos, one Dr. Pepper, and a little bit of conversation? What happens when you're broke and you need to get to a new job, an ailing parent, a powwow, college, or a funeral on the other side of the country? And after decades of globalization, what kind of America will you glimpse through the window on your way? For five years, Kath Weston rode the bus to find out. Traveling Light is not just another book about people stuck in poverty. Rather, it's a book about how people move through poverty and their insights into the sweeping economic changes that affect us all. The result is a moving meditation on living poor in the world's wealthiest nation., In Traveling Light , anthropologist Kath Weston takes a series of bus trips to explore what it means to live poor and travel poor in the world's wealthiest country.
