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. 600 10 $a Haley, Alex. $t Roots. 630 00 $a Roots (Television program : 1977) 776 08 $i Online version: $a Delmont, Matthew F., author. $t Making Roots. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2016] $z 9780520965133 $w (DLC) 2016004108 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013711.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202013833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=778829C4B85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
