Abstract
This source is essentially an in-depth study of Black-White relations in American society from the early period of slavery to the development of a form of Black pluralism in the mid-1970s. The first six chapters of the source are concerned with a general descriptive analysis of Black society itself (generally referred to in the text as the Black 'community')' and are concerned with urban-rural communities, social stratification, socio-economic status, the influence of various social institutions on the society (e.g., the family, politics, religion), and forms of social deviance (crime, mental illness, drug addiction). The final three chapters of the work deal with the assimilation of Blacks into the general American society, Black revolts against segregation, discrimination and 'White supremacy,' and the development of Black Nationalism.
