This volume presents a cultural history of Alex Haley’s Roots,
examining the strategy and tactics Haley employed in developing a
family origin story into an acclaimed national history. More than
an investigation into Alex Haley’s legacy, Identifying Roots
unearths the politics of beginnings and belongings. While we all
come from somewhere, this book examines the terms on which our
roots can work as a tradition to embrace rather than a past to
leave behind. And it investigates why some of the texts we read
also seem to read us back. Identifying Roots invites readers to
reimagine the way we tell stories. A provocative study that draws
upon Black studies, the history of religions, and anthropology, the
book underscores the social drama and dynamics that define our
scriptures. Nimbly moving between the stories of Alex Haley, his
characters, and the world that received them, Newton reminds us
that our roots are stories of consequence.
