  • More about Roots


Alex Haley's Roots is a powerful memoir, history of slavery, and landmark in African-American literature that explores his family's deep and distant past.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 912 pages
Publication date: 13 September 2018
Publisher: Vintage Publishing


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 new introduction by David Olusoga, author of 'Black and British', this definitive edition of Roots is a must-read for anyone interested in African-American history, culture, and identity.
