…the protagonist of “Roots” languished and died in slavery…”
The book/TV series “The Book Of Negros” dramatizes a rendition of the book/Tv series “Roots.” Both books/Tv series are theatrical masterpieces. Where the protagonist of “Roots” languishes and dies in slavery, along with his daughter, his grandson – Chicken George – would set the Kinte family free. The protagonist of “The Book Of Negros” survives slavery and returns to Africa in what one could see as a manifestation of Kunta Kinte’s dream from a female perspective. *
