The Mis-Education of the Negro was originally published in 1933 by
Dr. Carter G. Woodson. According to his thesis explained in the
book, African-Americans of his day were being culturally
indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools.
How was the earth formed, and where did animals come from? Why does
the hippopotamus live in water, and why do cats chase rats?
Imaginative answers to these and other age-old questions can be
found among the rich oral traditions of Africa. Generations of
listeners have delighted in these fanciful explanations of the
natural, moral, and spiritual worlds, which unfold amid a realm of
talking animals, magic drums, tricksters, and fairies.
Known as the "Father of Black History," Carter Godwin Woodson was
among the first scholars to promote the history and achievements of
African-Americans. His compilation of fables about a jealous blind
man, a disobedient daughter, a rivalry among brothers, and other
timeless predicaments is punctuated with thought-provoking proverbs
and gentle humor. Told in simple language, these tales will enchant
readers and listeners of all ages. Over sixty evocative
illustrations appear throughout the book.
