Excerpt from The Racial Integrity of the American NegroThe author Of this book has been for some years a close observer of race relations and a student Of those problems growing out Of racial contacts. As Chaplain of the Mississippi State Penitentiary, he was called upon to minister to several hundred Negro prisoners, thus gaining a measure of intimate knowledge Of the Negro criminal. As a teacher in the employ of the Imperial Government Of Japan, he was privileged to make a brief study Of an Oriental civilization. Here was gained a measure Of knowledge Of the Eurasian problem, SO acute in some of the Asiatic countries and in evidence wherever contact Of East and West has occurred.The chief interest Of the author in the Negro problem has centered about the matter Of racial intermixture - the mu latto problem - and most Of his writings have had to do with this evil. The present study, while endeavoring to ascertain and to state facts impartially, necessarily gives a large measure Of personal reaction to certain of the prob lems involved in present-day contacts of the two races, the black and the white, in the United States. Whoever really understands conditions now Obtaining in this area is pre pared to understand the situation wherever two dissimilar races occupy the same territory, or wherever casual racial contacts occur - as is now the case throughout the greater part of the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
