Abstract
This source is an anthropological study of Blacks and Whites in an area of the United States called 'deep south' during the 1930's. The study was undertaken by a Black couple and a White couple living in both urban and rural areas of the 'deep south.' The subjects dealt with are the system of color 'castes,' a description of the White class system, a description of the class system of the Blacks, and a description of the economic system in both urban and rural settings and how the class and 'caste' systems function within it. Data exclusively on the culture of the Whites have not been categorized.
