Biografier
“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 “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
This novel by Harlem Renaissance master Joel Augustus Roger, first published in 1917, is a polemic against the ignorance that feeds racism. A fast-moving train headed for California is at the center of the storyline, and Dixon, an African American porter, is working on it. A senator from Oklahoma who is racial prejudice-obsessed and outspoken is traveling with the group. A discussion about religion, science, and racial equality then ensues as the politician, who is unable to sleep, runs into Dixon in the smoking car.
