Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Urban Negro in the South The volume which you are about to read represents the results of research undertaken to satisfy requirements at the graduate school level at the University of Chicago. Subsumed originally under the title "Negro Main Street of a Contemporary Urban Community," the specifics of the study remain unaltered but are here presented in line with the broad scope of currently emphasized social phenomena within the southern part of the United States. The ideas here assembled have grown out of a keen interest in, questful understanding of, and much sought after explanations for the diverse and differentiated urban behavior patterns. Where these have revolved around racial or ethnic groups observation, both structured and unstructured, has usually given evidence of variant forms of behavior within the city, and hence suggested lines of inquiry for community study. Although additional lines of inquiry have been suggested by the student sit-in movement and its counterpart, the freedom rides, the time sequence involved in their development places them outside the confines of the present study. However, because their apparent impact upon the forces here analyzed is of immediate concern, brief consideration is given of them in Appendix One. Acknowledgments must here be made to those persons in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago under whose guidance the study was pursued; to those authors whose ideas the writer may have unconsciously incorporated into her own; to those publishers now inoperative from whom source materials may have been selected, as well as those who have permitted use of certain quoted materials; and to the many persons interviewed in order to ascertain verifiable data for the original study. Gratitude must be expressed to Shaw University, the Department of Schools and Colleges of the American Baptist Convention, my father, sisters and brother without whose invaluable assistance publication of the findings contained herein would have been impossible.

Download or read book Oreo written by Fran Ross and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Redistribution of the American Negro South remained in 1860 almost entirely dependent upon agriculture, and held only 30% of the white population of the United States, but almost 95% of the black. The blacks then constituted more than one-third of its total population, the numbers stated in thousands being 000 whites and blacks. In 1920 the numbers were whites and blacks, the blacks consti tuting less than one-fourth of the total. Of the three divisions into which the black majority counties fell on my map, the Texas Black Belt was never of importance except as separating two of the white majority regions. It comprised only fifteen counties irregularly grouped in the vicinity of the City of Houston. The census of 1890 showed the white rate of increase to be the greater, and in the next decade this ran up to 43% against a black rate of 16. The census of 1910 showed a white gain of only but there was a black loss of seven counties had lost their black majorities, and in the district there were whites to blacks, the black percentage fall ing in twenty years from 61 to 52. The persistence of this trend down to 1920, which may be confidently assumed, though as yet we have only the State rates of increase'f 22% for the whites and 7% for the blacks - will have caus ed the complete disappearance of the division as such.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Black and White: An Interpretation of Southern Life Negroes who are not improving in their con ditions; but the figures of statistics are be yond contradicting the fact that the race as a whole is making forward strides away from gross illiteracy and dependent poverty. Shall the white people wish it to be so? It seems to me that they should wish it to be so. It seems to me that our material prosperity de pends upon the spread Oi intelligence and thrift among all the people, even the hum blest. It seems to me that our public health demands this, because filth and disease ex tend their evils high and low. And how dare we say that humanity and religion do not de mand it? If humanity and religion mean anything, they mean good will to man and the application of the eternal principles Of justice and righteousness now and always. It does not follow that any amount of good will and desire for righteous dealing does away with the fact of race. The Frenchman is not a German, nor the Jew a Gentile, and the difference of the Negro and the white is most Of all distinctly marked. The problem Of their living and working side by side in the same region is a problem, which no amount Of Optimism can deny.

He withdrew his finger slowly from his ear, and sat motionless in the water with his eyes still shut, his hand still poised beside his head, his finger still extended in the manner of a speaker about to make a vigorous affirmative gesture. Gradually he relaxed. His face lost its tight, um natural lines, his eyes blinked wide Open, and he dropped his hand slowly into the tub.

Here again was a broad gate way for base and petty tyranny. The social life on the plantation, that is, the contact of slave with Islave was necessarily limited. There was the annual frolic culminating in the Christmas and there was usually a by-weekly or monthly church service. The frolic tended gradually to demoralization for an irregular period, longer or shorter, of dissipation and excess. Historically it was the American representative of the dance and celebration among African tribes with however, the old customary. Safeguards and traditions of leadership almost entirely gone. Only the dance and liquor usually remained. The church meeting on the plantation was, in its historical beginning, the same. Just as the Greek dance in the theatre was a species of a religious observance in Its origin and indeed in its culmination so the African dance differentiated Its fun and excesses went into the more or less hidden night frolics while its tradition and ceremony was represented in the church services and veneered with more or less Christian elements.

Download or read book Goat Alley written by Ernest Howard Culbertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goat Alley: A Tragedy of Negro Life In a dingy little hall on a side street Mr. Ernest Howard Culbertson began rehearsals of "Goat Alley," his tragedy of Negro life in a Washington slum. The actors were, with one exception, amateurs - colored working people who gave their time and services for the sake of what they felt to be an artistic expression of the life of their race. The author had no sociological intention; he had no ambition to be a propagandist. He had not even a special interest in the racial problem. He thought that he had come upon an action that has the quality of tragic inevitableness. He thought, furthermore, that tragedy does not reside in pomp and circumstance, but in the profound realities of human helpfulness and human suffering, and that poor Lucy Belle struggling to maintain her spiritual integrity in Goat Alley was a protagonist worthy of the sternest art and the largest sympathy. He built up his action from within. He saw that the Negro cannot yet hope, like the white man, to transcend common standards. He must first reach them. Hence the Negro girl's struggle for her own integrity is not yet the struggle of Nora or Magda - the struggle to be true to her self; it is the struggle to remain true to the man of her real choice. To transcend a necessary order one must first have achieved it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Conquest written by Oscar Micheaux and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conquest: The Story of a Negro Pioneer (1913) is a novel by Oscar Micheaux. Before he became the first Black movie mogul in American history, Micheaux was a homesteader-turned novelist whose passion for storytelling and business acumen were born from a youth of hard work and struggle. The son of a former slave, Micheaux dedicated his life to countering the dominant narratives of American history while inspiring and empowering Black people around the world. “The heavy rains washed the loam from the hills and deposited it on these bottoms. Years ago, when the rolling lands were cleared, and before the excessive rainfall had washed away the loose surface, the highlands were considered most valuable for agricultural purposes, equally as valuable as the bottoms now are.” A Black homesteader named Oscar Devereaux reflects on a life of perseverance. Raised alongside twelve siblings in rural Illinois, he leaves home and family behind to seek a life of fortune and independence. Never one to set limits, Devereaux discovers that no dream is beyond his reach. Dedicated to educator and orator Booker T. Washington, The Conquest was described by its author as the “true story of a negro who was discontented and [of] the circumstances that were the outcome of that discontent.” With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Oscar Micheaux’s The Conquest: The Story of a Negro Pioneer is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.
