5.0 out of 5 stars Page for page, it may be the best book on race ever written., August 31, 1997
Although presumably a work of fiction, "From Man to Superman" succeeds in doing in a slim 127 pages what whole libraries of works of non-fiction have never done - it makes most "white" Americans' ideas about race seem ridiculous. Although written over a half-century ago, it is the most advanced book on race and racism I have ever read - and that includes my recently published book, "WHITE FOLKS": Seeing America Through Black Eyes. That a "black" man living in the Draconian racist climate of 1930s and 40s America could keep his wits about him enough to even think such thoughts is a tribute to the awesome power of the human intellect. That he could garner the Herculian strength and Einsteinian ingenuity to write and publish this most concise criticism of America's racial apartheid system, is almost unbelievable. I cannot praise this book highly enough. It should be required reading for every American, starting with President Clinton.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Deception is the Key, May 29, 2005
By Diana Wilson (sparta, ga) - See all my reviews
  
I had this book for five years before I finally picked it up to read and to my surprise, it was magnificent...an exciting verbal exchange between a politician whose knowledge regarding people is neglegeable and a porter whose knowledge of people is extensive. The two strike up a conversation first as servant to customer then ending as teacher informer to student learner. Its very passionate, engrossing and will keep your interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant surprise, July 13, 2000
By Michel A. Williams (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
While cleaning out a closet full of books at the community center where I serve as its Educational Director, this book falls off of the shelf. It has been the most enlightening book I have ever read! The previous reviewers have spoken ever so eloquently, I will simply say, given the psuedo-intellectual, "we have overcome" times we live in, J.A. Rogers' work should be manditory reading for all. At home and abroad. This book keeps it "real.
