È il 1750. In Gambia Omoro Kinte e sua moglie Binta hanno un figlio, Kunta, che viene rapito nel 1767 e venduto come schiavo dagli inglesi. Dopo essere arrivato nel Maryland in Virginia, Kunta viene "comprato" da un coltivatore, John Waller, che gli darà il nome di "Toby". Il ragazzo cerca di opporsi con tutte le proprie forze alla condizione di schiavo, ma alla fine sarà costretto a cedere e ad adattarsi alla sua nuova e tremenda vita. La storia narra le vicende di Kunta Kinte, dal suo rapimento in Africa e dell'arrivo negli Stati Uniti, e dell'evolversi della sua famiglia: il matrimonio con la cuoca-schiava Belle, la nascita della figlia Kizzy e a sua volta la vita di Kizzy, dei suoi figli e dei figli dei suoi figli. Fino ad arrivare all'ultimo discendente della famiglia: lo scrittore Alex Haley, autore del romanzo. (Fonte: Wikipedia)
