As the fair celebrates another successful year of bringing together the brightest minds in publishing, Citi of Books proudly joins the festivities at the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse, showcasing inspiring titles from its talented authors. Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is “It’s About Time: Losing Control Of European Supremacy” by Paul R. Lehman— a powerful journey into how the myth of European supremacy took root and shaped American society in ways that still echo today.
Paul R. Lehman earned his Ph.D. from Lehigh University in 1976. He is a university Professor Emeritus in the department of English, and a former Dean of the Graduate College at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma. Dr. Lehman’s teaching experiences span a wide range of subjects from Ethnic American Literature, African American Literature, American Literature, Short Stories, American Fiction, and Chaucer.
He worked in the Oklahoma City area as a news journalist, news anchor and producer for the CBS affiliate KWTV during the late 1960s to 1970s. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame (Class of 2017) and the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame (Class of 2018). He presently lives in Edmond, Oklahoma and is active in community and ethnicity-related affairs.
If you’re looking for a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about race and history, “It’s About Time: Losing Control Of European Supremacy” by Paul R. Lehman is definitely it. Lehman doesn’t just lay out facts; he digs into the sneaky ways language, pseudoscience, and cultural conditioning have been used to keep these harmful ideas alive. It’s eye-opening and, honestly, a bit unsettling—but in the best way, because it pushes you to question the stories we’ve been told.
What’s really cool about this book is how Lehman flips the script on racism. Instead of seeing it as some “natural” or inevitable part of life, he shows it for what it really is: a made-up story designed to keep power in the hands of a few. And here’s the kicker—time itself is on the side of truth. As demographics shift, technology spreads information, and more people speak out, the lies that once seemed unshakable start to crumble. It’s like watching a slow but unstoppable wave of reality washing away centuries of falsehoods.
Lehman’s writing feels urgent but hopeful. He acknowledges that some folks will resist change, clinging to old illusions because it’s comfortable or convenient. But the book’s heart is in its message that truth can’t be hidden forever. The more we face reality head-on, the closer we get to real freedom and justice—not just for some, but for everyone. It’s a call to stop living in denial and start embracing equality and humanity in all its messy, beautiful complexity.
So, if you want a book that’s both a wake-up call and a source of hope, “It’s About Time: Losing Control Of European Supremacy” by Paul R. Lehman is it. It’s a reminder that no matter how long myths last, time has a way of revealing what’s real—and that’s where true change begins.
