The extraordinary account of Alex Haley’s own twelve-year search for his family’s origins
Tracing his ancestory through six generations – slaves and freedmen, farmers and blacksmiths, lawyers and architects – back to Africa, Alex Haley discovered a sixteen-year-old youth, Kunta Kinte. It was this young man, who had been torn from his homeland and and in torment and anguish brought to the slave markets of the New World, who held the key to Haley’s deep and distant past.
