Joel Augustus Rogers (1880/3-1966) was a Jamaican American author, journalist, and historian who wrote about the history of Africa and the African diaspora. He challenged prevailing ideas about scientific racism, demonstrating the ancient connections between civilizations and tracing the achievements of Africans.

The book From Superman to Man (1917) is a history text presented in the form of a novel. The plot is based on a debate between a Black Pullman porter and a White racist politician. Rogers uses this debate to present his personal philosophies and to disprove stereotypes about Black people and White racial superiority. With each stereotype raised, the porter replies with a multidisciplinary rebuttal that debunks the racist myth. The porter’s arguments are based on a wide variety of contemporary and classical sources.

I truly enjoyed the way this was presented. However the most important aspect was the information presented. This should be required reading and study for both black and white and all who live in this country!!!

Enlightenment and thought provoking

I truly enjoyed the layout of the story in this book, and the supporting details to support the argument of the American Porter. honestly, I will confess that I did not truly get into the book until midway through and begin to truly pay attention to the details and facts that were being laid out. And that is why I read this book back to back and will be reading it again.

So good I read it back to back
