Roots Recovered, The How To Guide For Tracing African American & West Indian Roots Back To Afric

About Me

"Roots Recovered" is a travel guide unlike any other. Roots Recovered contains bullets of information that range from African history, psychology, obtaining passports and visas to very specific country information. However, unlike other African travel books, the purpose of Roots Recovered is to use African travel as a vehicle to open the door for understanding Black psychology, history and to develop a positive Black self-concept for future growth. Roots Recovered is the guide for anyone of African descent who wants to travel to Africa. Not only does the book tell you how to fly to Africa for free or very cheaply, it guides the reader on how to trace your roots back to your specific tribal grouping utilizing a combination of traditional genealogy methods, the Internet and DNA technologyJames White, the author of Roots Recovered, is an African-American who obtained his undergraduate degree from Howard University and his law degree from New York Law School. He has crossed African country borders by land and by air, experienced power outages and have stayed in tourist hotels and inexpensive local lodgings.
