Publisher's Synopsis
""America's Greatest Problem: The Negro"" is a book written by R.W. Shufeldt that explores the issue of race relations in the United States. The book was first published in 1897, during a time of great racial tension and inequality in America. Shufeldt argues that the ""Negro problem"" is the most pressing issue facing the country, and that it must be addressed in order to ensure the continued success and prosperity of the nation.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the ""Negro problem."" Shufeldt discusses the history of slavery in America, the economic and social conditions facing African Americans in the late 19th century, and the political and legal barriers that prevent them from achieving true equality. He also offers his own solutions to the problem, including education, economic development, and political reform.Throughout the book, Shufeldt is critical of both white Americans and African Americans, arguing that both groups have contributed to the problem of racial inequality. He is particularly critical of white Americans who perpetuate racist attitudes and policies, but he also argues that African Americans must take greater responsibility for their own economic and social advancement.Overall, ""America's Greatest Problem: The Negro"" is a thought-provoking and controversial book that sheds light on a critical issue in American history. While some of Shufeldt's views may be considered outdated or problematic by modern readers, the book remains an important historical document that offers valuable insights into the complex and ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile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.
