This is a much needed collection that deconstructs and then rebuilds Alex Haley's epic. Its contributors are all historians who offer their perspective on historical times from slavery to the Civil Rights movement as well as social constructs such as race and gender. It is an enlightening read that will appeal to history buffs, people who believe in social equality, and fans of the TV series alike.
