Discover Alex Haley's Pulitzer Prize-winning search for his
family's origins: a powerful memoir, a history of slavery and a
landmark in African-American literature. Tracing his ancestry
through six generations of architects, lawyers, blacksmiths,
farmers, freedmen and slaves, Alex Haley's research took him back
to Africa and a sixteen-year-old youth named Kunta Kinte. Torn from
his homeland and brought to the slave markets of the New World,
re-imagining Kunta's journey would allow Haley to explore his
family's deep and distant past. 'A gripping mixture of urban
confessional and political manifesto, Roots not only inspired a
generation of black activists, but drove home the bitter realities
of racism to a mainstream white liberal audience' Observer WITH A
