Summary: Valuable Black Travel Resource
Comment: This book contains alot of information about how to travel internationally not just to Africa. It
also contains bits of history and how to trace one's roots to specific African tribes. Any person of
African origin planning to go to Africa should get this book. At $14.95 this book is a bargain. />

Summary: A good travel resource
Comment: The narrative style of this book is very personal...I got the sense that the author was talking to
me directly in a casual conversation. It's obvious that he has traveled to the places about which he
writes, and his experience is invaluable. The travel section of this book is the strongest and most
complete; the part about tracking roots is really more of an introduction, and you'll need to
supplement this book with others he recommends to do any serious geneology. But still, it will
definitely spark your interest!

Summary: Inspiring and True Guidance
Comment: Roots Recovered proved to be a step by step guide in helping me to research a history that before
coming across this book I never gave much thought to look into. Not only that, but it helped me to
do it on a college student budget, which is "shoestring budget" at best.

Summary: A must for any Black person wanting to go to Africa
Comment: This book is amazing and is probably the first of its kind. It combines history, genealogy and
psychology with African travel in order to improve the Black self concept. It is also a great travel
book for Africa and for international travel in general because it shows you how to travel for free
or very cheap and demystifies African travel and makes it easy and cheap. All Black people should
get this book and use it to travel to thier roots. I have been to Africa and I wish this book was
available then. However, now that I have this book I am encouraged to go again.
