When Markku Henriksson was growing up in Finland, the song ""(Get
Your Kicks on) Route 66"" was one of only two he could recognize in
English or Finnish. It was not until 1989 that Henriksson would
catch his first glimpse of the legendary highway. It was enough to
lure Henriksson four years later to the second international Route
66 festival in Flagstaff. There he realized that Route 66 was the
perfect basis for a multidisciplinary American Studies course, one
that he has been teaching at the University of Helsinki ever since.
Forming the soul of this work and yielding a more holistic and
complex picture than any previous study are Henriksson's 1996 (east
to west) and 2002 (west to east) journeys along the full length of
the Route and his mastery of the literature and film that
illuminate the Route's place in Americana. Not a history of the
road itself and the towns along the way, Henriksson's perspective
offers insight into America and its culture as revealed in its
peoples, their histories, cultures, and music as displayed along
the Mother Road.
