The Negro Problem

This is a collection of seven essays from 1903 edited by Booker T. Washington, featuring major African American intellectuals like W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles W. Chesnutt, and Paul Laurence Dunbar discussing race, citizenship, education, and Black life in early twentieth-century America. It's for anyone studying African American history, civil rights, or Black political thought during the Jim Crow era.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The book brings together multiple distinct voices and perspectives on racial advancement in one place, so you get Washington's practical approach alongside Du Bois's more theoretical work and Chesnutt's legal critique rather than just one viewpoint.
- This is a used copy in good condition, so it's a physical historical document from an important moment in African American intellectual history.
- The essays were written during and right after Reconstruction when Jim Crow laws were hardening, which means they directly address the urgent questions Black Americans were facing at that specific time.
