Description

A journey through six generations of his family's past, Alex Haley uncovers the story of Kunta Kinte, a young man torn from his homeland and sold into slavery in the New World. This powerful and poignant tale of ancestry and identity is a testament to the enduring legacy of the African diaspora.

Through meticulous research and a deep connection to his heritage, Haley reconstructs the lives of his ancestors, from farmers and blacksmiths to lawyers and architects. This is a story of resilience, survival, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Roots is a deeply moving and thought-provoking work of non-fiction that explores the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging.
