Alex Haley is a Black American reporter who has traced his roots back to his descendant Kunta Kinte, who was a teenage African stolen from his village and sold into slavery. The novel follows the generations through their experiences right through to the abolition of slavery and their eventual freedom. A fantastic read this is not for the faint of heart and is a fact based account of a harrowing journey of survival.
