A WORD OF PRAISE IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER FOR THE FINE AND IN DEPTH INFORMATION TRANSCENDED BY M. RODGERS. I WOULD PERSONALLY ENDORSE "FROM SUPERMAN TO MAN" A MUST READ FOR ALL RACES AND GENDER. THANKS J. A. RODGERS FOR THE NARRATION...

Rating:

- A must read for all African-American YOUNG men with a brain.
As I approach my last year toward my PhD in nursing, I still have yet to find a better read. There is no reason for this book not to be a must read by parents of all young men who may want to understand a challenge. The conversation between the senator and porter was an excellent one.

Rating:

- Absolutely the greatest book about racial mythology ever
When I first read this book I just couldn't believe it. The most searing, personal, rational explanation for and dissection of "unexplainable" racism ever. J. A. Rogers' deceptively simple work should be a must read for every American graduating from our school systems. Extraordinary...timeless. International, universal in scope and importance.

- Absolutely Fantastic!!
After I started reading this book I couldn't put it down, it presented the philosophy of white superiority as the ridiculous, pathetic attempt of a numerical minority (Caucasians) to bolster their own short-comings at the expense of every other race. It is clearly written, and superbly presented as well as full of numerous facts. Anyone looking for the truth about race should read this book.

- Page for page, it may be the best book on race ever written.
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.
