Professional Reviews

| : |
Nation: "Like 'Roots,' Kunte Kinte will become one of the great creations of American literature, a character endowed, through Haley's moving prose, with the thoughts, actions and strength of many millions of American slaves. It is no understatement to call him an Everyman but one unlike any allegorical figure in our written culture....Haley has uncovered beneath the chronicles of white America the raging heart and tenacious history of a people in captivity." |

| Details: |
An historical narrative of slavery in the American South. Based upon actual researches conducted over a period of years, Haley reconstructs the events that led to the enslavement of Kunte Kinte, the "African" identified in Haley's family lore as their founding father, and his settlement on American shores. Kinte, in his own history, becomes an allegory of the history of the millions of Africans brought forcibly to America, and of the people they became in the intervening years. |
