Race and Rumors of Race 1.º edición

This is the story of racial tension in the United States during the year of global war from mid-1942 to 1943. The author sees three groups to blame for this tension: the new Afro-American, better educated, better aware of his economic potentialities; northern agitators campaigning for black rights; and the old white South, unwilling to relinquish its traditional folkways.

Originally published 1943.
