Reviews

A timely, powerful approach to history that looks into the past to find a path into a better future.
— Kirkus, Starred Review
A book that outlines critical moments in history without putting you to sleep. I was hooked by Fowler’s storytelling.
— HuffPost
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

HEY, I'M JERMAINE!

I’m a public historian, NYT Bestselling Author, and keynote speaker sharing the untold stories of history. Challenging dominant perspectives, I go outside the textbooks to find stories that are recognizably human.
