Your History Revisited
By Bibliophilic
I really appreciate the fact that the 2 previous reviewers took some time to give a critical analysis of this important book.
However, I would hope that in the future they would check their own facts before making brash statements, which themselves were off base.
First of all the author was not the artist who rendered the pictures for the book. In fact each page has his signature at the bottom. If the reviewers had done their homework they would have noted this easily discernible fact about the book.
Secondly, if they had noted this properly they could have done a simple search right here on Amazon.com and found that the artist had books out of his own on African American history.
Thirdly, this book is a reprint of the original edition published in 1940 by the author. It is now being published by Black Classic Press. The very first page following the copyright page is a "Publisher's Note" stating giving a brief synopsis of the author's history, a bibliography of books that he's written and information about the origins of the artwork.
This is important to note, because the book itself was a compilation of articles which appeared in Black newspapers all over the country. So, to charge him with being unscholarly, would be akin to calling Ripley of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" fame unscholarly. These articles were meant to catch people's eye and give them cause to think about what African people have contributed to world history.
Lastly, the references given to J.A. Rogers other more scholarly books, which did contain references, was made on that very same first page. Admittedly, as Black Classic Press clearly states, J.A. Rogers was a "race" man and was attempting to prove a point, so at times some of his facts may come into question.
J.A. Rogers is "the historian" that was most vociferous in bringing to light many of the stories we now accept as being the bedrock of Pan-African Studies, or Black Studies. He was also known for using photography in conjunction with his historiography. This is a real sore point when acquiring his works now being published by large companies like Macmillian & Co., where the literally hundreds of photos of people or statues of persons have been excised from his major work "The World's Great Men of Color." This really diminished the impact of his work, because, as we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words.
In conclusion, I'll be the first one to admit that I just recently noted a discrepancy in a depiction of the 11 churches of Lalibela Ethiopia, which are monolithic structures carved out of the bedrock of the Ethiopian highlands. Mr. Lee made them look like large mudhuts, as opposed to the architectural masterpieces that they are in actuality.
Overall, I've noted the book is fairly accurate in it's portrayal of the personalities and events, but I wouldn't place give them any more, or less credibility than "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," whose museum in Hollywood is a real eye-opener.
So, while you're fact checking, why don't you check into the validity of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not." Meanwhile, I think I'll keep supporting African American Museums and historical sites, who undoubtedly owe a great deal to J.A. Rogers, as one of the pioneers in the study of Pan-African history. By the way the newest museum of African American history will be opening soon on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as a part of the Smithsonian, I wonder who they'll feature in their exhibits?

GOOD FOR MATERIAL, TERRIBLE FOR FACTS
By E
Joel Augustus Rogers was a field anthropologist and "self-trained scholar" of African-American studies who has basically been forgotten today. This book 'Your History' is really a collection of various mini-articles about black people: famous, nonfamous, and infamous. It's a lighthearted look at various people, mostly those whom time forgot. The format of the book is akin to a comic book: on average, there's about 4-5 articles per page in which each has a picture (drawn by Rogers himself) and description of whom or what the article is about.
However, a warning is in store: Readers should take some of what Rogers says with a grain of salt. I say this because some of what Rogers asserts in some of his articles is painstakingly obvious bias for the African-American cause. Some of the "facts" are mere opinions that the "self-trained scholar" Rogers tries to pass on as semi-factual, and even then, these follies fall short of believability.
To make matters worse, Rogers fails to provide any of his reference materials for attentive readers. I'm not saying that I wanted a reference section because I think Rogers is a complete liar about everything he wrote in 'Your History' -- quite the contrary. But what I am saying is that in passages where he makes obviously biased assertions of people or places, he fails to list any reference material to back up what he preaches.
For instance, in one section Rogers explains to us that the Chinese Nakhi people contain a considerable amount of African strain in their blood... Although I've heard this Asian-African relation before, I can also say that I've never seen any reference material or anthropological, biological, etc., -type research to corroborate the statements.
Another example of this book shortcomings is the article of Muhammad, the Islamic prophet. Roger asserts it was said that Muhammad was very dark in terms of skin color. I've also read historical Islamic writings that state Muhammad was extremely light-skinned... the lack of references really makes Rogers' work suffer overall.
All in all, although this is an inadequate volume of any realistic and largely historical measure, it is "classic" for the simple fact that Rogers reveals the names and lives of many interesting black people whom we would literally never know anything about if it weren't for his work.
