By J. A. Rogers. Comprised of carefully, brilliantly chosen facts which make up the first half of the book, J.A.Rogers's collection is enlightening, surprising, disturbing, provocative, even paradigm shifting...yet simultaneously always entertaining. The second half of the book consists of essentially his bibliography, where all of the proof of every fact can be found and authenticated.  Helga Rogers (1980), English, Paperback: 71 pages. 

About the author

Rogers (1883-1966), born in Jamaica, was among the first African-American scholars to re-examine European history from an Afrocentric perspective. The current work, which went into many printings, provides a sort of "sampler" of his researches in the areas of the Arts, Ancient Civilizations, Exploration, Sports, etc. He was the author of a number of larger works, including "Sex And Race" and "The World's Great Men of Color."
