Trenton, NJ (PRWEB) March 3, 2004 -- James E. White, Esq., an African-American attorney and Jean-Gontran Quenum a West African businessman, have written a new book called ROOTS RECOVERED! The How To Guide for Tracing African-American and West Indian Roots Back to Africa and Going There FOR FREE OR ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET. Roots Recovered is a travel guide unlike any other. Not only does it 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 technology.

Roots Recovered also 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 our psychology, history and to develop a positive Black self-concept for future growth. Roots Recovered is the guide for anyone of African decent who wants to travel to Africa.
