As a black man in america, I don't think being obsessed with blackness is anything to be ashamed of however. Rogers books the most during a period of time when I was obsessed with blackness. Sex and Race: A History of White, Negro, and Indian Miscegenation in the Two Americas, Vol. The heighten racism we observe to day is largely the product of European racism, slavery, land conquest, and genocide of other groups of people. This books reveals that racism is not natural nor has it been as systemic in societies since ancient times.
Racism is a political tool used to control a group of people in order to garner advantages for another group of people. Rogers gives a plethora of primary sources that reinforces his claim that the moors were black Africans, not to mention the thousands of coat of arms that contains Black "moors". They were largely Black Africans from the northwest region of Africa. The question of who were the moors is effectively answered in this book. The Roman's felt the same way about the Ethiopians, as many of their gods (and the Greeks) were black people. The Greeks had great respect for the Ethiopians ( from the Greek word Ethiops, meaning black person), and in their plays/poems/songs had several "Ethiopian themes" included: wisdom, deity, military strength, and beauty. Roger discusses the history of Black people intermingling and marrying with different groups of people, particularly European people, since the days of Ancient Greece. His bibliography and sources are extensive and very reliable, as he uses many primary and scholarly sources to buttress the claims and facts he is presenting. J.A Rogers was definitely ahead of his time with this outstanding work. "For those of you who foolish believe that people of Black African descent throughout history was confined to the role of a slave, this book will totally shred such nonsense and enlighten you. The research is very thorough and it appears that "SEX and Race" and prejudice can be traced back to India starting over 5000 years ago with the invasion of the Arayans in the Valley of the Indus." Rogers does a fairly good job of informing the reader of how the white-person should not be so complacent about his or her supposedly pure racial heritage." Considering that it was written at a time when mixing white with black was illegal in many American States Mr. Rogers writes about a taboo subject, the mixing of races, or as part of his title states "Research into the Negro Ancestry in the White Race." It is a fascinating book if somewhat stodgy and a bit pompous in places. "This book is a collection of photos, facts and figures but despite this it makes a fascinating read. I know we all talk quite a bit about race around here so I figured you all might be interested in this read.
