The Real Facts about Ethiopia Paperback

More about the book

Challenging conventional views on race and colonialism, this pamphlet critiques the interplay between state boundaries and racial categories as tools of colonial power. Inspired by the 1935 Italian invasion of Ethiopia, J. A. Rogers articulates a call for political activism within the black community in America. As a prominent figure in the popularization of African history, Rogers's work serves as an early anti-colonial statement from a black perspective, highlighting African achievements and the interconnectedness of civilizations.
