A new eight-hour event series based on Roots will be simulcast on the History Channel, Lifetime, and A&E over four consecutive nights beginning Memorial Day, May 30, 2016 "Early in the spring of 1750, in the village of Juffure, four days upriver from the coast of The Gambia, West Africa, a man-child was born to Omoro and Binta Kinte." So begins Roots, one of the most extraordinary and influential books of our time. Through the story of one family—his family—Alex Haley unforgettably brings to life the monumental two-century drama of Kunta Kinte and the six generations who came after him: slaves and freedmen, farmers and blacksmiths, lumber mill workmen and Pullman porters, lawyers and architects...and one author. A national and international phenomenon at the time of its original publication, Roots continues to enthrall readers with its masterful narrative drive and exceptional emotional power, speaking to us all with an undiminished resonance and relevance. "In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage.... Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning no matter what our attainments in life."—Alex Haley With an introduction by Michael Eric Dyson RootsTheBook.com

Queen

This is a very special novel that sparkles with the same memorable writing that made ROOTS an American classic. This is the story of Fletcher Randall, a nineteen-year-old from North Carolina whose politically powerful father is a plantation owner, and, of course, a slave owner. The time is 1855, and all Fletcher Randall knows and believes about slavery he's learned from his father. But Fletcher goes to school up North, and one or two of his Princeton classmates talk about how wrong slavery is until Fletcher begins to think for himself --and he becomes a traitor to his background, to his family, by conspiring to aid in a mass escape of slaves on the Underground Railroad. His partner in this plan is a black slave by the name of Harpin' John, a man who plays the harmonica so sweetly it could make a grown man cry. Christmas Eve is the secret date set for the escape. How these two men of such incredibly opposing backgrounds join together to achieve the goal of freedom makes A Different Kind of Christmas soar with unforgettable inspiration. This is a timeless tale of spiritual regeneration, moral courage, and powerful humanness, meaningful and memorable to readers of all faiths and all ages.

Forced to raise her family by herself after her husband is killed by white landholders, Mama Flora watches her daughter Ruthana travel to Africa in search of her soul, while her son Willie's children seek solace in drugs and the Black Power movement. Reprint.

A Novel

Mama Flora's Family

The Man who Traced America's Roots

En 1977, paraissait " Racines ", le best-seller légendaire qui reste encore dans toutes les mémoires. En racontant la fabuleuse et authentique saga de Kounta Kinté, son ancêtre africain, et celle des six générations suivantes d'esclaves et d'affranchis, de fermiers et forgerons, avocats et architectes, Alex Haley écrivait l'histoire de vingt-cinq millions d'Américains noirs. " Queen " prolonge et achève aujourd'hui cette œuvre unique et gigantesque qui restitue à son peuple l'identité et l'héritage culturel dont un siècle d'esclavage l'avait dépossédé. Avec l'épopée bouleversante de sa grand-mère, né pendant la guerre de Sécession des amours illicites d'un planteur irlandais et d'une esclave, l'auteur réinvente l'existence tumultueuse et passionnée d'une femme inoubliable en quête de liberté.
