Roots: The Saga of an American Family
by Alex Haley
Deep in his heart, he knew he would never see his home again, and he could feel something precious and irretrievable dying inside of him forever. But hope remained alive; though he might never see his family again, perhaps someday he might be able to have one of his own.
It all started with Kunta Kinte, the one who was snatched away from his family in Juffure, Gambia.
The turmoil, violence and the inhuman conditions he had been through; the turbulent relationship with the new culture he was thrown into and the slave owners that had followed - this book has an emotional impact on the reader, for all of this is non fiction and had happened to Mr. Haley's ancestors.
The harrowing accounts of slave trade and social inequality, all captured in one.
More importantly, Mr. Haley eventually walked down the same path, to understand the pain his first known ancestor suffered through, and imagined suffering the same for nights to come without the aid of any known person and away from family.
A real tragedy like slavery, and a well-reseatched read is what makes you realize your Roots.
