In the Sex and Race series, first published in the 1940s, historian
Joel Augustus Rogers questioned the concept of race, the origins of
racial differentiation, and the root of the "color problem." Rogers
surmised that a large percentage of ethnic differences are the
result of sociological factors and in these volumes he gathered
what he called "the bran of history"--the uncollected, unexamined
history of black people--in the hope that these neglected parts of
history would become part of the mainstream body of Western
history. Drawing on a vast amount of research, Rogers was
attempting to point out the absurdity of racial divisions. Indeed
his belief in one race--humanity--precluded the idea of several
different ethnic races. The series marshals the data he had
collected as evidence to prove his underlying humanistic thesis:
that people were one large family without racial boundaries.
Self-trained and self-published, Rogers and his work were immensely
popular and influential during his day, even cited by Malcolm X.
The books are presented here in their original editions.
