Context:

Rue mentions this book when discussing how different people can have different associations with the same things, like parades. She uses it as an example of how someone from communist Czechoslovakia would view a parade differently than someone from America, relating this to how Black people might have different associations with outdoor spaces like pools due to historical exclusion.
