(Benjamin Griffith) A Social History of the American Negro Being a History of the Negro Problem in the United States. Including A History and Study of the Republic of Liberia Suzanne Shell, Leonard D Johnson and PG Distributed Proofreaders "A Social History of the American Negro" by Benjamin Griffith Brawley is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically in the late 1920s. This work provides a comprehensive examination of the experiences and challenges faced by the African American community, weaving together various aspects of their history, from the origins of African cultures to the complexities of their lives in America, particularly during periods of slavery and social struggle. The opening of the book begins with a dedication to Norwood Penrose Hallowell, emphasizing his commitment to the African American cause during the Civil War. Brawley lays out the intent to approach the narrative from a social perspective rather than solely a political or legal one, indicating a broader exploration of the "Negro problem" within American society. He discusses the need to understand the rich cultural contexts from which African people came, as well as the harsh realities brought about by the Transatlantic slave trade. With an overview of key themes such as African origins, the early development of slavery, and the early relationships between African Americans and other groups, Brawley sets the stage for a critical examination of the societal dynamics which influenced the lives of African Americans through history.
