New York Times Bestseller

This sweeping survey of Black history shows how Black humanity has been erased and how its recovery can save the humanity of us all.

"An innovative reading of Black history, gracefully joining it to the larger history of all humankind." — Kirkus Starred Review

Using history as a foundation, The Humanity Archive uses storytelling techniques to make history come alive and uncover the truth behind America's whitewashed history.

The Humanity Archive focuses on the overlooked narratives in the pages of the past.

Challenging dominant perspectives, author Jermaine Fowler goes outside the textbooks to find recognizably human stories. Connecting current issues with the heroic struggles of those who have come before us, Fowler brings hidden history to light.

Praise for The Humanity Archive:

From the African Slave Trade to Seneca Village to Biddy Mason and more, The Humanity Archive is a very enriching read on the history of Blackness around the world. I was hooked by Fowler's storytelling and would recommend others who want to pore over a book that outlines critical moments in history—without putting you to sleep. — Philip Lewis, Senior Editor, HuffPost

Fowler sees historical storytelling and the sharing of knowledge as a vocation and a means of fostering empathy and understanding between cultures. A deft storyteller with a sonorous voice, Fowler's passion for his material is palpable as he unfurls the hidden histories. — Vanity Fair

Phenomenal!

This wide-sweeping exploration of Black history is unmatched. Jermaine Fowler's narration was impeccable! Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

This book is perfect for fans of Clint Smith and Malcolm Gladwell.

Informative

One of the best books I’ve read this year. The author clearly did overwhelming research and it shows throughout the book.

To quote Tyler Childers " a long and violent history"

Amazingly insightful yet brutal path for African people across the ages. So many stories that are never told and never shared in history classes. Brillant writing by a great author. Thank you Jermaine.

Great information/Horrible narration

Really important information we all need, but I really thought the narration had to be A.I. with all the weird breathing and pauses like someone used punctuation like confetti. It made it really difficult to get through.

The Narrator's reading is unnerving.

Overall great book but someone else should narrate it. The narration makes is hard to listen when it appears then narrotor inserts commas and fulls stops innthe middle of a paragraph
