Yet, as Alex Haley points out through his own experience, in order to become successful, one must learn to struggle in the Shadow land of dreams — a deep forest that can swallow up those who swing and hesitate. Only the determined stand a chance of making it.

American biographer, scriptwriter, and novelist, whose most famous work is ROOTS, a publishing phenomenon and international bestseller. Haley traced in it his ancestry back to Africa and covered seven American generations, starting from his ancestor, Kunta Kinte. The book was adapted to television series, and woke up an interest in genealogy, particularly among African-Americans. Haley himself commented that the novel was not so much history as a study of mythmaking: "What Roots gets at in whatever form, is that it touches the pulse of how alike we human beings are when you get down to the bottom, beneath these man-imposed differences." He said that three groups of people lived in every village. First were those you could see - walking around, eating, sleeping, and working. Second were the ancestors, whom Grandma Yaisa had now joined. "And the third people - who are they?" asked Kunta. "The third people," said Omoro, "are those waiting to be born." (from Roots)

"The saga of Kunte Kinte, from a small boy in his African village to the midyears of his life, is absolutely first-rate and fascinating.
