The television series, broadcast by ABC in 1977, became the most popular miniseries of all time, captivating over a hundred million Americans. For the first time, Americans saw slavery as an integral part of the nation's history. With a remake of the series in 2016 by A&E Networks, Roots has again entered the national conversation. In Making Roots, Matthew F. Delmont looks at the importance, contradictions, and limitations of mass culture and examines how Roots pushed the boundaries of history. Delmont investigates the decisions that led Alex Haley, Doubleday, and ABC to invest in the story of Kunta Kinte, uncovering how Haley's original, modest book proposal developed into an unprecedented cultural phenomenon. 000786757 533__ $$aElectronic reproduction.$$bAnn Arbor, MI$$nAvailable via World Wide Web. 000786757 588__ $$aDescription based on Print version record. 000786757 60010 $$aHaley, Alex.$$tRoots. 000786757 63000 $$aRoots (Television program : 1977) 000786757 7102_ $$aProQuest (Firm) 000786757 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDelmont, Matthew F.$$tMaking Roots.$$dOakland, California : University of California Press, [2016]$$z9780520291324$$w(DLC) 2016002212 000786757 852__ $$bebk 000786757 85640 $$3GOBI DDA$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4700077$$zOnline Access 000786757 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:786757$$pGLOBAL_SET 000786757 980__ $$aEBOOK 000786757 980__ $$aBIB 000786757 982__ $$aEbook 000786757 983__ $$aOnline
