About this listen

Jesse Max Barber (1878 - 1949), born in Blackstock, South Carolina, to former slave parents, was a journalist, dentist, and civil rights leader. His literary career began in 1903 while attending Virginia Union University in Richmond. In this work, The Negro of the Earlier World, Barber contends that a race without traditions and without history is most likely to be a race without backbone and without self-respect. Lamenting the fact that Negroes do not know their history, he presents the facts - drawn from sources as diverse as the Arab writer Ibn Battuta to WEB Dubois, to kindle the inspiration of tradition. Throughout the book, he stresses the importance of chronicling historical events for future generations.

No evidence whatever supports the author's assertions. Sadly, this fictional rewrite of African history is the right-think version all must enthusiastically embrace.

High on emotion, low on fact
