This chapter addresses how questions of identity are interrogated in novel ways in contemporary road narratives. Mohit Goyal’s Colorful Notions: The Roadtrippers 1.0 (2017) portrays young, middle-class Indians on a road trip to explore a multicultural India, proposing an automobile imaginary that counters the current political emphasis on Hindu singularity (5.2). Discourses on automobility and masculinity take precedence over national ones in Paul Collis’s novel Dancing Home (2017) and Mitch Tawhi Thomas’s play Have Car Will Travel (2010) (5.3). Whereas Dancing Home uses the road trip in conjunction with the noir genre to frame its tragic hero as the Indigenous warrior, reimagined here as fighting for social justice, Have Car Will Travel’s ambiguity pertains to power struggles between two Māori brothers and a white Pākehā couple in contemporary Aotearoa/New Zealand. In contrast to such darker visions of automobility, Bretten Hannam’s Wildhood (2021) embraces the genre’s potential for lightness and joy to tell an innovative story about Indigenous queer Two-Spirit characters and their successful search for home and belonging (5.4). Taken together, these readings show that there is no generically specific way of imagining identity. Rather, there is variety—identities can be stable, complex, multi-scalar or ambivalent, and these features receive different qualitative judgements.
