Yes, I remember the tv series very well. Kunta Kinte was the main character, wasn't he? It was one of those series that really sticks in your mind - it was so moving, and it is also very striking that the events covered happened relatively recently in a supposedly civilised society. It would bear repetition, I think.

The Book.... it's brilliant...
Needless to say if you plan to read it, take about 3 months out of normal life, or glue the book to your face for a few weeks as it is a rather large - and long-winded book, but I read it when I was 15 and thought it was brilliant, whether you agree with some of the views it expresses, or disagree, you can't fail to notice it's literary brilliance.

I felt sorry the blacks had to go through that crap, But we are still suffering as a society today because of it.
