A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work is concerned with "the Great Black Man" theory of history. This theory presents history, specifically black history, as a mural of achievements by prominent black people. He devoted a significant amount of his professional life to unearthing facts about people of African ancestry, intending these findings to be a refutation of contemporary racist beliefs about the inferiority of blacks. Books such as 100 Amazing Facts about the Negro, Sex and Race, and World's Great Men of Color described remarkable black people throughout the ages and cited significant achievements of black people. However, many of the historical figures that Rogers cites as "black", including Aesop, Cleopatra and Hannibal, are not considered to be so by historians. Rogers commented on the partial black ancestry of some prominent Europeans, including Alexander Pushkin and Alexandre Dumas, père. Similarly, Rogers was among those who asserted that a direct ancestor of the British royal family, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, had a remote ancestor who was of African origin.

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.
