"A San Francisco radio host grown tired of media stereotypes, Rose Aguilar packed up her van, picked up her boyfriend, and set out on a six-month road trip through the red-state West to find out what voters there really care about. Equal parts travelogue, political reportage, and personal discovery, RED HIGHWAYS challenges conventional wisdom and calls for a more thoughtful and productive dialogue between Red and Blue America."

Rose Augilar is an American journalist and political blogger from San Francisco. Aguilar currently hosts "Your Call", a daily public affairs radio show on NPR-affiliate KALW 91.7 FM. "Your Call" features in-depth conversations about everything from the Iraq war and poverty, to the environment and the arts. Rose is a contributor to the book "Red State Rebels: Tales of Grassroots Resistance in the Heartland." She also writes for Alternet and offers political analysis for the BBC. Rose sits on the board of the Women's Intercultural Network (WIN), a non-porfit organization working to connect girls and women across borders. WIN most recently hosted women's rights activists from Uganda and Afghanistan. Rose speaks about the media, women's issues, and politics on panels and at conferences.
