Roots is a powerful and epic saga by Alex Haley that traces the history of an African American family over several generations, beginning with the capture of Kunta Kinte, a young man from The Gambia, who is sold into slavery and brought to America. The novel spans over a century, following the struggles, resilience, and triumphs of Kunta Kinte's descendants as they endure the horrors of slavery, fight for their freedom, and ultimately build new lives in a changing America.
