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.

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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversity: A Reality for America, Racism Still Its Nightmare was written to provide a contemporary look at historical events in America and offer a forward-thinking viewpoint on how if certain major institutions took the lead on race relations and race intervention, their impact would forever change the face of America’s racial problems. W. E. DuBois stated in 1903, “That the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” However, what we have witnessed in America as the problem of the twentieth-first century is blatant and covert “racism.” The book takes a look at the public school system, including higher education institutions in America, and proposes that if they had focused on the race issue differently, where we would be, as a country, in the area of race relations? The author believes that we would live as the constitution stands for “We as a People,” not one people, but all people where all lives truly matters, every day. The book examines several areas: children growth, public schools, higher education, television, the government, and the military. It highlights points in American history where African American people have played a significant role in America’s success but also exposes times when America has treated African American people as less than citizens and developed policies and laws that intentionally prevented them from being on equal standing with other American citizens. The book primarily focuses on African Americans and their relationship with America because aside from other races, the race issue in this country is largely dynamically woven between the African Americans and the American society in which we live. Although America has excelled in many areas involving inventions, technology, research, science, and space travel, it has fallen tragically short with developing the human spirit for all American citizens. The author believes that if we are able to make significant progress in these relationships then America will move forward and truly become “great.” Many are aware that this information is not new; however, the book approaches the topic in a very creative way, in order to assist readers in finding a place to consider their views on race relations in America. A section is devoted to the topic of “white privilege,” which the author believes is real in America. Another chapter focuses on African American achievement in the military and their history of commitment to America but also discusses how they were treated after each war until a failed war caused the military to rethink their policies concerning race. In each of the major institutions discussed in the book, the central theme is, if America and these areas would only take a different position on race relations in American, there could be a positive and significant way white Americans and African Americans would interact and relate to one another beyond the public display of a few biracial marriages. A deeper personal transformation would ensue that could impact how white Americans educate their children about race and discuss the topic among their families and friends. The race issue has been both debated and casted aside by politicians and those in leadership positions because the excuse is the government cannot regular race relations, yet it manages to regulate everything else. The book is written to educate some, inform others, enlighten all, and calls for America to face the issue and take action. At the end of each chapter, there is a list of recommendations that have been passed down through history and some that the author recommends. The book makes the point that if we teach about race and the benefits of diversity at the beginning of life and throughout each person’s life, perhaps we would approach race with a different and more accepting state of mind.
