Who are we, and where do we come from? The fundamental drive to
answer these questions is at the heart of Finding Your Roots, the
companion book to the hit PBS documentary series. As scholar Henry
Louis Gates Jr. clearly demonstrates, the tools of cutting-edge
genomics and deep genealogical research now allow us to learn more
about our roots and look further back in time than ever before. In
the second season, Gates's investigation takes on the personal and
genealogical histories of more than twenty luminaries, including
Tina Fey, Ken Burns, Deepak Chopra, and Sally Field, among others.
As Gates interlaces these moving stories of immigration,
assimilation, strife, and success, he provides practical
information for amateur genealogists just beginning archival
research on their own families' roots and details the advances in
genetic research now available to the public. The result is an
illuminating exploration of who we are, how we lost track of our
roots, and how we can find them again.
