New forms of history television in the 1970s responded to and helped articulate a larger “nostalgia culture.” But this culture was not about escapism or a longing for a lost and irretrievable past, instead evidencing a new form of historical consciousness that allowed for closer identification and for a reevaluation of the past and the present. Television, because of its generic qualities of live delivery, immediacy, and intimacy, was particularly well positioned to illustrate and negotiate this shift. An examination of history programming, particularly the emergence of miniseries such as Roots, casts light upon these new forms of narrativization and identification
