Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Race Problem: A Study of the Negro The status Of slavery lies well within the mores Of the Negro races. In the ancient world they appear to have been reduced to slavery by every people with whom they came into contact, and the institution was usual in many Of the African tribes. At the time Of the African exploration it was generally prevalent except among the hunting tribes, and there was a general in heritance Of the Slave status. The extent and nature of the sys tem varied with different regions but the demand for slaves was active and the native economy and social order were kept more or less chronically deranged by the trading in captives and the raid ing expeditions incident thereto. From the eighth century, the Arabs, incident to their trade relations with Africa, engaged in the capture, purchase, and distribution Of African Slaves. In the latter half Of the fifteenth century the Spanish and Portuguese merchants developed an active trade in African Slaves. The first Shipload, 225 Negroes captured on the African West Coast, was taken to Portugal in 1444. There proved to be a demand for them as domestic servants in the towns and as laborers on the estates from which the Moors had been recently expelled. Others were sold into Spain where they were similarly employed. The Spanish merchants also engaged in the traffic and at the time Of the discovery Of America there was a considerable Negro population in the peninsula and the system Of Negro Slavery was well established in both Spain and Portugal.

Book Synopsis America's Race Problem by : Paul R. Lehman
Download or read book America's Race Problem written by Paul R. Lehman and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Lehman examines America's race problem with the understanding that America usually addresses race with the assumption that all things regarding race are presently correct and accurate. In so doing, America fails to confront the real problem of race. After discussing various aspects of race and its manifestations using both academic and secular references, the book presents a challenge to America to recognize its race problem by examining its present-day perceptions, language, and behavior. Some of the topics discussed include color, normalcy, racial priority, and slavery's legacy. The chapter 'The Race Box' will engage the reader in a discussion that can have a major impact on the way race is viewed by individuals in American society.
Book Synopsis Sociology and the Race Problem by : James B. McKee
Download or read book Sociology and the Race Problem written by James B. McKee and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing developments in the sociology of race relations from the 1920s to the 1960s, McKee maintains that sociologists assumed the United States would move unimpeded toward modernization and assimilation, aided by industrialization and urbanization. The fatal flaw in their perspective was the notion that blacks were culturally inferior, backward, and pre-modern, a people who had lost their own culture and couldn't grasp that of their new society. Designed to detail a failure the author says is widely acknowledged but little examined, this book will be of interest to both specialists and general readers. "Masterful. . . . McKee transports the reader back to the intellectual world in which the early sociologists worked and does not simply treat them as evil racists. His approach is informed by the sociology of knowledge." -- Lewis M. Killian, author of The Impossible Revolution, Phase 2: Black Power and the American Dream

Book Synopsis The Problem of Race in the Twenty-first Century by : Thomas C. Holt
Download or read book The Problem of Race in the Twenty-first Century written by Thomas C. Holt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line," W. E. B. Du Bois wrote in 1903, and his words have proven sadly prophetic. As we enter the twenty-first century, the problem remains--and yet it, and the line that defines it, have shifted in subtle but significant ways. This brief book speaks powerfully to the question of how the circumstances of race and racism have changed in our time--and how these changes will affect our future. Foremost among the book's concerns are the contradictions and incoherence of a system that idealizes black celebrities in politics, popular culture, and sports even as it diminishes the average African-American citizen. The world of the assembly line, boxer Jack Johnson's career, and The Birth of a Nation come under Holt's scrutiny as he relates the malign progress of race and racism to the loss of industrial jobs and the rise of our modern consumer society. Understanding race as ideology, he describes the processes of consumerism and commodification that have transformed, but not necessarily improved, the place of black citizens in our society. As disturbing as it is enlightening, this timely work reveals the radical nature of change as it relates to race and its cultural phenomena. It offers conceptual tools and a new way to think and talk about racism as social reality.
Book Synopsis The History of White People by : Nell Irvin Painter
Download or read book The History of White People written by Nell Irvin Painter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller This terrific new book…[explores] the ‘notion of whiteness,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive." —Boston Globe Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events.

Book Synopsis The Race Problem in the South by : Joseph LeConte
Download or read book The Race Problem in the South written by Joseph LeConte and published by . This book was released on 1892 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LeConte was the son of a former slave-owner in Georgia and president of the Society for the Advancement of Science. In response to the question of what is to be done with freed slaves, LeConte argues for the separation of Blacks and whites in the South and a restricted franchise for all on the basis of education and property; eventually he feels the race problem will solve itself and disappear naturally. In a counter presentation, one James Skilton says he doubts if a race problem really exists, and he argues that former slaves require economic freedom if they are to attain real political and social freedom in the U.S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the American Race Problem The purpose in which these papers are conceived may be read in their first word - the spirit in which they are written in their last. Neither is knowingly departed from. It is a difficult thing to do - this telling of the truth, the narrating of facts, without at once creating the impression of a partisan temper or a biased mind. Yet so far as this writer knows he has neither. For a number of years I have studied the various phenomena of racial contact which we conveniently designate the race problem. I have also studied the literature which treats of this problem. If the facts are confusing and difficult of comprehension the literature is scarcely less so. It fails, it seems to me, at a vital point, in that it is based on either side upon an assumed lack of honesty and absence of fairness on the other. The truth is that the conflicting American attitude on the race problem is an entirely natural product of the sectionalism which almost from the beginning has saturated and beclouded the whole subject. It is a humanly difficult matter for people in different environments to look at the basic cause of their differences through the same glasses. One trouble is that we have made too little honest effort to accomplish this difficult but necessary end.
