A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Joel Augustus Rogers was born on September 6, 1880 in Negril, Westmoreland Parish, Jamaica, West Indies. He was a Jamaican-American author, journalist and historian who contributed to the history of Africa and the African diaspora, especially the history of African Americans in the United States. His research spanned the academic fields of history, sociology and anthropology. He challenged prevailing ideas about race, demonstrated the connections between civilizations and traced African achievements. He was one of the greatest popularizers of African history in the 20th century. Rogers was married to a White German woman he met in Europe. It seems somewhat surprising in view of his theories about race that he would marry a White woman. She was 42 years younger than he was!!!!! He died on March 26, 1966. She continued his publishing business after he died and greatly contributed to his legacy.
