Tired of stereotypes and wondering about the so-called political divisions in her country, San Francisco radio host Rose Aguilar packed up a van, grabbed her boyfriend and headed east into the heartland of the United States.

Her book about the journey, Red Highways, deconstructs the aforementioned myths that are so often reinforced by the corporate media, by revealing the political complexities within “red states,” as well as within the people who inhabit them.

You can see Rose’s interview with Laura Flanders / GRITTV here.
