Classic work of black study refuting scientific racism In Nature Knows No Color-Line , originally published in 1952, historian Joel Augustus Rogers examines the origins of racial hierarchy and the color problem. 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. According to Rogers, color prejudice was then used a rationale for domination, subjugation and warfare. Societies developed myths and prejudices in order to pursue their own interests at the expense of other groups. This book argues that many instances of the contributions of black people had been left out of the history books, and gives many examples. Review: Good read - Knowledge is Power. Review: Read this great historical novel - I found J.A. Rogers' "Nature Knows No Color-Line: Research into the Negro Ancestry in the White Race" fascinating. It mostly dealt with history. In particular, the history of people of African descent and their connections to Europeans. Approximately 90% of the book was devoted to blacks in Europe. 5% of the book was devoted to African-Americans, and the remaining 5% to Native Americans. I finished the book fairly quickly. I found a few typos and grammatical errors, but nothing so severe that I couldn't understand what was written. Definitely worth a read.

Nature Knows No Color-Line
This is an excellent book. The research is very thorough and it appears that "SEX and Race" and prejudice can be traced back to India starting over 5000 years ago with the invasion of the Arayans in the Valley of the Indus. Another book on race is "Soul on Ice" by Elderidge. Cleavers. These two books could be considered companion because, the information on "SEX and Race" are profound. Personally, this book is new material for me and I am happy I found it on Amazon so it can become part of my library.

Em « A natureza desconhece linha-de-cores », J.A.Rogers investiga processos históricos de miscigenação e revela que o preconceito de cor foi o último dos preconceitos desenvolvidos pelos brancos. Antes, os brancos desenvolveram preconceitos de gênero (misoginia), de classe, de religião (a partir do império romano, que perseguiu pagãos, infiéis/muçulmanos e cristãos não católicos), de idioma (nos tempos de Roma, quem não falasse latim era considerado bárbaro). O autor apresenta, assim, com vários exemplos, a presença de pretos na Europa desde tempos pré-históricos, e desde a idade-média principalmente. Pretos miscigenaram-se, por exemplo, com famílias da nobreza europeia. O autor faz um estudo interessante sobre brasões de famílias da realeza europeia que possuem imagens de pretos nelas. Os pretos eram admirados na Europa. A expresso sangue azul vem do fato de que eles eram vistos, também, como pessoas de cor azul e nobres. A imagem da capa do livro retrata Carlota Sofia, consorte de George III e avó da rainha Vitória da Inglaterra. Na Grécia e em Roma havia servos brancos e pretos, e a condição de servo era bem diferente da do escravo que conhecemos nas Américas, pois não implicava perda de identidade ou imobilidade social. O autor explica que o preconceito de cor, o racismo, surgiu, primeiramente, com argumentos «religiosos » distorcidos acerca de suposta maldição que teria caído sobre um dos filhos de Noé; e como « ciência » no século 19 (racismo científico), a fim de garantir, por meio de superioridade bélica, a exploração dos « povos de cor » pelos brancos. Ele percorre leis que surgiriam nos Estados Unidos para criminalizar o casamento interracial, e as repercussões que elas causavam, em um país onde a miscigenação aconteceu fortemente, e muitos foram atraídos à assimilação pelo embranquecimento. Tem muito mais neste leitura provocadora, mas estas linhas bastam para este breve comentário.
