From Superman to Man

In "From Superman to Man," Jamaican American author Joel Augustus Rogers presents a compelling narrative woven around a debate between a Black Pullman porter and a White racist politician. Through this dialogue, Rogers articulates his philosophies and confronts stereotypes about Black people and the notion of White racial superiority. Each misconception posed by the politician is met with the porter's well-researched rebuttals, drawing on a diverse range of sources to dismantle racist myths and highlight the historical contributions of Africans. This unique blend of history and fiction serves as a powerful challenge to prevailing narratives of the time.
