Reviews


A timely, powerful approach to history that looks into the past to find a path into a better future.
— Kirkus, Starred Review
While “The Humanity Archive” began as a podcast, it’s really a love letter to books and a childhood spent at the library learning about the wider world that wasn’t taught in schools.
— Los Angeles Times
A book that outlines critical moments in history without putting you to sleep. I was hooked by Fowler’s storytelling.

HEY, I'M JERMAINE!

As a kid, I found refuge in the quiet aisles of the free public library, a place where I hoped to uncover stories hidden from the textbooks that glossed over the narratives I sought—the narratives that resembled mine. School textbooks never showed me the faces or told the stories of people who looked like me, who felt the struggles and joys that I could relate to. It was in the quiet corners of that library where my mission was born: to unearth the truths and tell the stories of those historically unheard.
