About This Item
PRICE, Willard. The Negro Around the World. NY: George Doran, [1925]. 1st ed. 12mo, 75pp. Original dark green cloth, lettered in gilt. Near fine in very good dustjacket with tiny chips to spine ends and closed tear at head of spine. There is another variant of the first edition, in which the publisher is given as George Doran for the African Methodist Episcopal Church. However, the book and the dustjacket are apparently identical in all other respects and it seems that both variants were issued simultaneously. Illustrated with pictorial maps by George Annan. A brief survey of Blacks in Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the U.S. The author argues that Blacks are capable of making rapid progress when they live in contact with "civilizing forces," as in the U.S., but that they are prone to "ignorance, superstition, and disease" in Africa and the West Indies, where "progressive" (i.e. European) influences are less. The solution: greater missionary intervention from the West, especially by African Americans.
