Race Traits And Tendencies Of The American Negro And Appreciation And Interest (1896)

Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro and Appreciation and Interest is a book written by Frederick Ludwig Hoffman and published in 1896. The book provides a detailed examination of the characteristics and habits of African Americans in the United States at the time. It explores topics such as the physical appearance, mental abilities, and social behaviors of black people, as well as their historical and cultural background. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the physical and mental characteristics of African Americans, including their physical appearance, intelligence, and emotional disposition. The second part of the book examines the social and cultural aspects of black life in America, including their history, religion, and social customs. Hoffman's work was controversial at the time of its publication, as it was seen by some as promoting racist attitudes and stereotypes. However, it is also considered an important historical document, as it provides insight into the prevailing attitudes towards African Americans in the late 19th century. Overall, Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro and Appreciation and Interest is a comprehensive study of the African American experience in the United States at the turn of the 20th century, and a reflection of the attitudes and beliefs of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
