The 30th anniversary edition of Alex Haley's epic story of Kunta Kinte and his descendents. The tale begins in the Gambian village of Jufureh in 1750 and traces seven generations of one family, to tell the story of Africans in America. An engaging, powerful story of perseverance in times of slavery, it was made into one of the most popular television mini-series of all time.  (WAF21, $17.95)
