In 1906 the United States published a pamphlet entitled Select List of References on the Negro Question, compiled under the direction of Appleton Prentiss Clark Griffin, Chief Bibliographer. Washington, Government Printing Office, 1906. The list contains a full bibliography of the subject to the date of publication.
There is but little to be gained by the examination of works on the subject prior to 1870. The foregoing list will be furnished by the Librarian of Congress upon application and contains a note of substantially everything of value bearing upon the subject up to the time of its appearance.
A memorandum of a few of the more important works bearing upon the general subject which have since appeared is appended.
Studies in the American Race Problem. By ALFRED HOLT STONE. New York, Doubleday, Page & Co., 1908. With an introduction and three papers by Walter F. Wilcox.
A series of essays discussing the negro problem from a distinctively Southern view-point. Devoting his attention principally to the study of the economic condition of the black man, Mr. Stone finds but little of encouragement in the material or moral prospects of the race.
Following the Color Line. By RAY STANNARD BAKER. New York, Doubleday, Page & Co., 1908.
The work of a trained newspaper reporter who spent months in the most minute study of the problem of the negro. From Boston to New Orleans, Mr. Baker followed the color line and in his work he describes the actual condition of the American negro of to-day.
Race Adjustment. Essays on the Negro in America. By KELLY MILLER. New York, Neale Publishing Co., 1908.
A series of essays treating the subject in scholarly
fashion from the negro's view-point. Full of indignant protest against the social discrimination to which the negro is subjected, the writer eloquently pleads for fuller recognition of the virtues of his race.
Vital American Problems. An Attempt to Solve the "Trust," "Labor," and "Negro" Problems. By HENRY EARL MONTGOMERY. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London. The Knickerbocker Press, 1908.
The third part of the work, embracing about one hundred and fifty pages, is devoted to a discussion of the negro problem. Reviewing the facts relating to the negro's history and present condition, the author arrives at no conclusion, and so far as his work purports to be an attempt to solve the "negro" problem the title is misleading. It is simply an inconsequential discussion. Some Southern Questions. By W. A. MCCORkle. McCORKLE. New York, G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1908.
A temperate discussion of the question in connection with other questions affecting the South. No conclusion as to the solution is reached.
The Negro, Past, Present, and Future. By JOHN AмBROSE PRICE. Neale Publishing Company, 1907.
Three hundred pages of profitless discussion from the extreme Southern standpoint. The conclusion is stated at page 275 as follows:
“The negro, being a descendant of Ham, can be made subservient to human use, for his manifest destiny is that of a servant, and the ordinance of God requires that he should be placed in a subordinate position to a superior race."
