Seeking roots and tracing lineages: constructing a framework of reference for roots and genealogical tourism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Travel for the purpose of seeking roots, or roots tourism, is understood to be focused on the descendants of a diaspora living in contemporary multicultural societies and travelling to ancestral homelands in search of identity and belongingness. It is an almost negligible niche segment of heritage tourism due to an obscure amalgam of contextual concepts. The primary purpose of this review is to construct a conceptual framework of reference based on sociological and psychological literatures concerning identity and belongingness. This framework is then employed to synthesize contributions to roots tourism from scholars both within and beyond tourism studies. On the basis of a unique conceptual overlap with seeking roots, travel for the purpose of tracing lineages, or genealogical tourism, by diasporic descendants is concisely discussed with respect to tourism scholarship. It is recommended that researchers in tourism studies systematically develop the contributions of this review by continuing to draw from established disciplines and closely aligned fields of study.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
