Publisher's Synopsis
The Three Great Races of Men: Their Origin, Character, History and Destiny is a book written by Jonathan Baldwin Turner in 1861. The book explores the origins, characteristics, histories, and destinies of the three main races of humanity: the Caucasian, the Mongolian, and the African. The author argues that each race has its own unique characteristics and attributes that have shaped their history and destiny. Turner examines the physical, mental, and moral traits of each race, as well as their historical achievements and failures. He also discusses the impact of race on society, politics, and culture, and the role of each race in the development of civilization. The book is a product of its time and reflects the prevailing attitudes towards race and ethnicity during the mid-19th century. Despite its controversial subject matter, The Three Great Races of Men was widely read and influential in its time. It was used as a textbook in many American universities and colleges, and helped to shape the emerging field of anthropology. Today, the book is viewed as a historical artifact and a window into the racial attitudes of the past.With Special Regard To The Present Condition And Future Destiny Of The Black Race 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.
