review 1: "From Superman to Man" by J.A. Rogers was okay. One of my cousins is really into the history of African-Americans and suggested that I read it...this was one of those books that I had to have a dictionary to get through, but, for the most part, the content provided was very insightful. I awarded it three stars because it wasn't a subject I was interested in, and the content did not hold my interest, but "From Superman to Man" by J.A. Rogers was nicely written...
review 2: This book should be required 5th grade and/or middle school reading. Rogers, being a scholar, a historian, and a great writer creates a history text written in novel form. He creates a scenario about two gentlemen, one white the other black,discussing stereotypes common to that era on a trai... moren ride. With each stereotype asked about, the black gentlemen replies with a historical, scientific, anthropological, or statistical rebuttal that debunks the myth. This book is wonderful for children to get a lot of the stereotypes, myths, etc that they believe or have heard answered or refuted. The terminology can be a little difficult for a novice reader, but if done as a Black History Month read aloud, the instructor could use the difficult words as an opportunity to expand their students vocabulary. less
