Roots Quest Inside America’s Genealogy Boom Buch von Jackie Hogan Begrenzte Stückzahl

In Roots Quest, sociologist Jackie Hogan digs into our current genealogy boom to ask why we are so interested in our family history. She shows how the surging popularity of genealogy is a response to large-scale social changes, and she explores the way our increasingly rootless society fuels the quest for an elemental sense of belonging-for roots.
