XXV, 1483 pages. Index. Fresh copy of the original edition. - Near Fine. - This work was the culminating achievement of Swedish economist and sociologist Gunnar Myrdal's life. It was commissioned by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to study American history and society in hopes of providing answers to what was then commonly called "the negro problem," a stark divide in an openly segregated sociological, political, and economic system. The book was widely read and cited, including in the landmark Brown versus Board of Education Supreme Court decision of 1954 that desegregated public schools. - The scarce first edition of this important work in the history of race relations in America.This work was the result of a 1938 commission from the Carnegie Corporation to write about the subject matter, and the work painstakingly detailed what Myrdal saw as obstacles to full participation in American society that black Americans faced the 1940s. This work was enormously influential in how racial issues were viewed in the United States, and it was cited in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. The book was generally positive in its outlook on the future of race relations in America, taking the view that democracy would triumph over racism. In many ways it is viewed to have laid the groundwork for future policies of racial integration. - ( Wir bieten zahlreiche Titel aus diesem Sachgebiet auf unserer HP an - We offer a lot of books in this field ) Aufgrund der von der Europäischen Union erlassenen Handels-Erschwernisse (die neue europäische Verpackungsverordnung mit extremen Gebühren für Händler) kann in folgende Länder KEIN VERSAND erfolgen: Bulgarien, Dänemark, Estland, Finnland, Griechenland, Irland, Kroatien, Lettland, Litauen, Luxemburg, Malta, Polen, Portugal, Rumänien, Schweden, Slowakei, Slowenien, Ungarn, Zypern.
