J. A. Rogers 
From "Superman" to Man [EPUB ebook] 
A Fearless and Penetrating Discussion of America’s Greatest Problem

Ajutor

The first book from "a tireless champion of African history, " a novel that "challenged the theories that Blacks were inferior to whites" (New York Amsterdam News).Joel Augustus Roger’s seminal work from the Harlem Renaissance, this novel-first published in 1917-is a polemic against the ignorance that fuels racism. The central plot revolves around a train speeding to California, serviced by an African American porter named Dixon. On board is a United States senator from Oklahoma, a man obsessed by race who makes no attempts to hide his prejudice. Unable to sleep, the politician encounters Dixon in the smoking car, and thus ensues a debate about religion, science, and racial equality . . . "A bold discussion novel in which a cultured, well-travelled, black Pullman porter is drawn into a debate with a white passenger, a Southern senator, on the question of the superiority of the Anglo Saxon and the inferiority of the Negro." -The Guardian"A genuine treasure. I still insist that From ‘Superman’ to Man is the greatest book ever written in English on the Negro by a Negro and I am glad to know that increasing thousands of black and white readers re-echo the high opinion of it which I had expressed some years ago." -Hubert Henry Harrison"A stirring story, faithful to truth and helpful to a better understanding and feeling." -Prof. George B. Foster, University of Chicago
