- The Southerner's Problem
310,95 kr. The book ""The Negro: The Southerner's Problem"" by Thomas Nelson Page is a historical account of the relationship between white Southerners and African Americans during the Reconstruction era in the United States. The author, who was a prominent Southern writer and politician, examines the social, economic, and political challenges faced by both groups during this tumultuous period in American history.Page's book explores the complex dynamics of race relations in the South, including the legacy of slavery, the rise of segregation, and the struggle for civil rights. He argues that the ""Negro problem"" was not just a Southern issue, but a national one, and that the resolution of this problem required a concerted effort by both whites and blacks.Throughout the book, Page draws on his own experiences as a white Southerner to provide insight into the mindset of his fellow citizens. He also offers a critique of the Northern abolitionists who he believes did not fully understand the complexities of the Southern social system.Overall, ""The Negro: The Southerner's Problem"" is a thought-provoking and controversial work that sheds light on the deep-seated racial tensions that have shaped American society for centuries. While some of Page's views may be considered outdated by modern standards, his book remains an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the complexities of race relations in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old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.
