Acknowledged more as a work of the imagination today rather than strict scholarship, Roots was the publishing sensation of the 1970's and remains the most important 20th century literary event in black literature. It was adapted into the hugely popular, 12-hour television miniseries, ROOTS, in 1977 [The first ever TV miniseries], and a 14-hour sequel, Roots: The Next Generations, in 1979. Haley earned a Pulitzer Prize special award in 1977 for Roots & the television miniseries garnered numerous awards, including nine Emmys & a Peabody. Roots is Haley's second book following his collaboration on The Autobiography of Malcolm X. A nice example of this important title with mylar cover. .
