Drawing on a vast amount of research, Rogers was attempting to point out the absurdity of racial divisions. In the Sex and Race series, first published in the 1940s, historian Joel Augustus Rogers questioned the concept of race, the origins of racial differentiation, and the root of the “color problem.” Rogers surmised that a large percentage of ethnic differences are the result of sociological factors and in these volumes he gathered what he called “the bran of history”-the uncollected, unexamined history of black people-in the hope that these neglected parts of history would become part of the mainstream body of Western history.

His research spanned the academic fields of history, sociology and anthropology. He was a Jamaican-American author, journalist and historian who contributed to the history of Africa and the African diaspora, especially the history of African Americans in the United States.

This book argues that many instances of the contributions of black people had been left out of the history books, and gives many examples. Societies developed myths and prejudices in order to pursue their own interests at the expense of other groups. According to Rogers, color prejudice was then used a rationale for domination, subjugation and warfare. Rogers was a humanist who believed that there were no scientifically evident racial divisions-all humans belong to one “race.” He believed that color prejudice generally evolved from issues of domination and power between two physiologically different groups. In Nature Knows No Color-Line, originally published in 1952, historian Joel Augustus Rogers examines the origins of racial hierarchy and the color problem.
