Contents: From the jacket:

As the first black American writer to trace his origins back to their roots, [Alex Haley] has told the story of 25,000,000 Americans of African descent. He has rediscovered for an entire people a rich cultural heritage that slavery took away from them, along with their names and identities. But ROOTS speaks, finally not just to blacks, or to whites, but to all peoples and all races everywhere, for the story it tells is one of the most eloquent testimonials ever written to the indomitability of the human spirit.
