The Real Facts about Ethiopia

More about the book

Challenging conventional notions of race and colonialism, this work critiques the interplay between state boundaries and racial categories as tools of colonial power. Inspired by the 1935 Italian invasion of Ethiopia, it reflects the rise of grassroots political activism among African Americans. J. A. Rogers, a prominent historian and journalist, highlights African achievements and connections between civilizations, positioning this pamphlet as an early expression of anti-colonial sentiment from a black perspective, while popularizing African history in the 20th century.
