Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Upon these falsifiers of Reconstruction history Dr. Du Bois has unloosed his brilliant and bitter eloquence. He has undertaken the herculean task of rewriting Reconstruction history on the basis of the unusual assumption (for an American historian) that "the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings," as against the more orthodox view of the Negro as an inferior being "whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature..." Dr. Du Bois is to be commended for attacking the subject with a broad perspective... The book should be widely read." --R. J.
