Paperback. Condition: New. Morals and Manners among Negro Americans is the sequel to W.E.B. Du Bois' The Negro Church. This 1914 study is the last Atlanta University Conference volume to be edited or coedited by Du Bois and is based on a national survey addressing the then current state of morals and manners within the African American community. A case study of the Black Church in Atlanta and an extensive discussion of crime are included also. The national survey addressed such topics as good manners, sound morals, habits of cleanliness, personal honesty, home life, rearing of children, activities for young people, the care of the elderly, church ministries, and an evaluation of recent progress. While the original conference volume included actual lists of the evaluators' responses by topic and classified by state, the data were not analyzed. This reissue of the classic sociological study includes an extensive introduction based on Robert Wortham's content analysis of the survey responses. The results of this analysis are presented in tabular form and discussed, and a statistical appendix summarizing the raw data for each topic by state is provided. This new edition presents readers with an opportunity to evaluate general and regional trends in the evaluators' perception of the state of morals and manners within the African American community at the beginning of the twentieth century.…

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st. Softcover. First edition. 137pp. Printed gray wrappers. Minor chipping on a few leaves. Corner of title page discreetly reinforced with archival tape. This volume, issued under the patronage of the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund, records the proceedings of the 18th Atlanta University Conference, held on May 26, 1913. Directed and largely authored by W.E.B. Du Bois, the series of annual Atlanta University Studies (1896-1914) represents the first sustained, data-driven investigation into the social, economic, and educational conditions of African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. Conceived by Atlanta University president Horace Bumstead and carried forward by Du Bois, these conferences brought together scholars, educators, and reformers to address pressing issues of Black life with empirical rigor, years before the professional discipline of sociology was fully established in the United States. Though Du Bois's name often appears only as editor, his hand shaped nearly every aspect of these publications. Today, surviving copies are scarce; most were later rebound, making intact examples like this especially desirable. This 1913 report stands as both a landmark in African American scholarship and a tangible artifact of Du Bois's groundbreaking sociological project at Atlanta University. Very rare. Only one record of this selling at auction over the past 20 years. Store case 4.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Common School And The Negro American is a seminal work by the renowned African-American scholar and civil rights activist, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois. Originally published in 1911, the book explores the history and current state of education for black Americans in the United States, with a focus on the role of the common school system in perpetuating inequality and discrimination.Du Bois argues that the common school system, which was designed to provide equal educational opportunities to all children regardless of race, has failed to live up to its promise for black Americans. He traces the roots of this failure to the legacy of slavery and discrimination, which have left black Americans at a disadvantage in terms of access to quality education and social mobility.The book also examines the impact of segregation and racism on the educational experiences of black children, including the use of separate and unequal facilities, discriminatory funding policies, and biased curriculum and teaching practices. Du Bois argues that these factors have contributed to a cycle of poverty and underachievement among black Americans, which has perpetuated their marginalization and exclusion from mainstream society.Despite these challenges, Du Bois remains hopeful about the potential for change and advocates for a more inclusive and equitable approach to education. He calls for greater investment in black schools, the hiring of more black teachers, and the development of a curriculum that reflects the history and culture of black Americans.Overall, The Common School And The Negro American is a powerful and insightful critique of the American education system and its impact on black Americans. It remains a landmark work in the history of African-American education and civil rights, and continues to be widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
