First line
Many modern American rumors, legends, and folk ideas about the origins and meaning of racial difference can be traced to the days of first contact between white English explorers and black sub-Saharan Africans.
From the rear cover
"Entertaining and absorbing. . . . Information that blacks and whites have about one another is largely based upon rumors. Turner's monumental work traces the origins of rumors that have often fomented tragedies in race relations since the early encounters between Europeans and Africans."--Ishmael Reed, author of Japanese by Spring
