THE NEGRO PROFESSIONAL

With Special Emphasis on the
Physician and Lawyer. BY Caster

Negro Life and History, Inc,
Reviewed by
CYRIL BRIGGS

- wa 1AAAC'1o
mr.. WOODSON's book is a cry in
" the wilderness from a Negro
upper strata, affected in their
pocket books by the impoverish-
ment of the Negro toilers under the
devastating effects Of the past four
years of the capitalist crisis, which
has borne harder upon the Negro
masses than on any other section
Of the toiling population.
DR.. Woodson makes a typically
reformist and bourgeois nationalist
approach to the problems of the
Negro professionals. Unlike many
Negro professionals, who have be-
come radicalized under the hammer
blows Of the crisis, he shows scant
concern for the misery Of the toiling
masses, except in so far as this
misery affects the careers of the
professionals. He offers the familiar
reactionary utopian programs Of the
Negro bourgeoisie for an illuSory
way out" through race loyalty"
jim-crow economy or racial aut-
archy. Ironically, he is forced to
admit that the very class that
breaches race loyalty" does not
practice it, as shown in his claim
that members of the various pro-
fessions do not patronize each other,
but divert their business to white
professionals.
DR.. Woodson cites the Jews as an
example of how racial autarchy can
be successfully achieved. The Ne
groes as a whole" he writes, have
not been driven together by persecu-
ton as in the case of people like
the Jews" The significance of this
statement lies in the constant use
by the Negro refornists Of the sue
cessful Jewish bankers as proof"
that achievements in the financial
and commercial field will solve the
race question" Necessarily such
confused argument ignores the class
