Originally published in 1868 by a northern publisher, this volume is a collection of extremely archaic and ignorant ideas on Africans, African life and the negroes and negro community in general within the United States.2.

Many other differences might be mentioned; but the score and more of obvious and undeniable ones here enumerated ought to suffice for the utter confusion and shame of all those disingenuous politicians and others, who, knowing better, and who are thus guilty of the crime of defeating the legitimate ends of their own knowledge, would, for mere selfish and partisan purposes, convey the delusive impression that there is no other difference than that of color.

Pulitzer Prizewinning cultural critic Margo Jefferson was born in 1947 into upper-crust black Chicago. Her father was head of pediatrics at Provident Hospital, while her mother was a socialite. In these pages, Jefferson takes us into this insular and discerning society: I call it Negroland, she writes, because I still find Negro a word of wonders, glorious and terrible.
Negrolands pedigree dates back generations, having originated with antebellum free blacks who made their fortunes among the plantations of the South. It evolved into a world of exclusive sororities, fraternities, networks, and clubsa world in which skin color and hair texture were relentlessly evaluated alongside scholarly and professional achievements, where the Talented Tenth positioned themselves as a third race between whites and the masses of Negros, and where the motto was Achievement. Invulnerability. Comportment. At once incendiary and icy, mischievous and provocative, celebratory and elegiac, Negroland is a landmark work on privilege, discrimination, and the fallacy of post-racial America.

Negroland (Classic Reprint)
Description
Excerpt from NegrolandOur knowledge of the geography and peoples of Africa has grown very rapidly during the past thirty years, and is growing still. Probably no portion of the world has been made the subject of so many books in so short a time; and these, added to the records of earlier explorers, constitute a literature of such dimensions that only those readers who have abundant leisure, and who are conversant with at least three languages, can hope to become familiar with it. And yet nearly every intelligent reader, especially when any new book of African travel has attracted his attention, desires to have a distinct and definite conception of what has been accomplished, and of what remains to be accomplished, in the way of discovery; it is impossible, for instance, for any one to grasp the really important facts in Dr. Schweinfurth's great work, or in Livingstone's recently published "Journals," without knowing just how far the discoveries therein recorded supplement those of other explorers, and what relation they bear to the existing body of geographical and ethnographical knowledge. To supply such information is the object of the present work. If its execution corresponds with its plan, the reader will find here a record of explorations in Africa from the time of the Phnicians to the death of Livingstone, comprehensive enough to put him in possession of all the essential facts and successive steps in the opening of that mysterious continent, and at the same time detailed enough to give him a fair conception of the work performed by each of the more prominent individual explorers.

Description
Hinton Rowan Helper (December 27, 1829 March 8, 1909) was an American Southern critic of slavery during the 1850s. In 1857, he published a book which he dedicated to the "nonslaveholding whites" of the South. The Impending Crisis of the South, written partly in North Carolina but published when the author was in the North, argued that slavery hurt the economic prospects of non-slaveholders, and was an impediment to the growth of the entire region of the South. Anger over his book due to the belief he was acting as an agent of the North attempting to split Southerners along class lines led to Southern denunciations of 'Helperism10.
