| Résumé anglais |
Although the TV series « Roots » is a positive attempt after a period of « blaxploitation » in American movies, its ideological premises are far from suggesting a usable rehabilitation of black culture. African origins are mythified and extolled but shown as radically cut off from the Afro-American experience whose only acceptable destiny as a group, it is understood, is integration into the American mainstream. All changes brought to the novel aim at making the Blacks an ethnic group « like all others » by subtly negating the permanence of their culture and of the historical legacy of slavery while pretending to depict them in detail.
