Publisher's Synopsis
""America's Greatest Problem: The Negro"" is a non-fiction book written by R.W. Shufeldt, originally published in 1898. The book explores the history and current state of race relations in America, with a focus on the African American community. Shufeldt argues that the ""Negro problem"" is the most pressing issue facing the country, and that it is a complex problem that requires a multifaceted solution.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Negro problem. Shufeldt discusses the history of slavery in America, the Reconstruction era, and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the South. He also examines the social and economic conditions facing African Americans in the late 19th century, including poverty, lack of education, and discrimination.Throughout the book, Shufeldt offers his own opinions and solutions to the Negro problem. He argues that the government should take a more active role in promoting education and economic opportunities for African Americans, and that white Americans should work to overcome their prejudices and treat black Americans as equals. He also suggests that African Americans themselves should take more responsibility for their own advancement, and work to improve their own communities.Overall, ""America's Greatest Problem: The Negro"" is a thought-provoking and insightful look at race relations in America at the turn of the 20th century. While some of Shufeldt's views may be outdated or controversial by modern standards, the book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges and struggles faced by African Americans in the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
