The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study (1899) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164108719)

The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study is a seminal work on the African American experience in the late 19th century. Written by W. E. B. DuBois and originally published in 1899, the book is based on extensive fieldwork conducted in Philadelphia's African American neighborhoods. DuBois examines the social, economic, and political conditions of the city's black population, providing detailed statistics on everything from employment and housing to education and crime. He also explores the cultural and psychological dimensions of African American life, tracing the ways in which racism and discrimination shape individual and collective identity.The Philadelphia Negro is widely regarded as a landmark in the history of sociology and African American studies. It is both a rigorous academic study and a powerful indictment of the systemic inequalities faced by black Americans at the turn of the 20th century. DuBois's insights and analysis continue to resonate today, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of race relations in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
