I do not know if Alex Haley wrote anything more apart from his bestseller “Roots“ and almost that it nor needed. The enormous saga of the oppressed ancestors of Haley come like exnails to America is sufficient as to get lost in a lot of reading time and sobrecogerse with the conditions of exclavitud suffered by generations of those African poor, gone over to the new world to serve to the English colonists.
Was Kunta Kinte a poor African boy kidnapped of his village for an exnails seller, one finds the empire of an owner submitted suddenly and does not manage in all his life to come undone of that yoke, the worst thing? it does not achieve it for itself and less for his immediate progeny. Kunta Kinte has to fight to survive and it will have to humble itself to manage to protect theirs, as any world falls in love and there marries another excudgel procreating a daughter who will live through the atrocity of being violated by the owner and a mulatto conceives.
This is “Roots“ the familiar saga of this progeny of Kunta Kinte who were listening generation to generation, to the historía of that place in a distant continent from which his relative had been kidnapped, many generations should happen until Haley, descendant of Kunta Kinte will count in this touching book all that familiar history, his sorrow, his small happy moments but happy moments and the painful desire of the freedom.
