Review Quotes: Praise for Roots
"The book is an act of love, and it is this which makes it haunting."--New York Times "A gripping mixture of urban confessional and political manifesto, it not only inspired a generation of black activists, but drove home the bitter realities of racism to a mainstream white liberal audience."--Observer "Groundbreaking"--The Associated Press "A Pulitzer Prize-winning story about the family ancestry of author Alex Haley...[and] a symbolic chronicle of the odyssey of African Americans from the continent of Africa to a land not of their choosing."--Washington Post Philadelphia Tribune, 6/7/16
