The Negro and
The Postwar World

By Raytord w. Logan. THE
MinoritieS Publishers; $780,
Reviewed by CASPAR NAMES.
The problem of racial minorities
in the present postwar world is one
that cannot be ignored and logically
therefore should be understood. A
first step toward understanding the
Negro question is made in this work
by Dr. Rayford w. Logan. professor
of history at Howard University.
AS the subtitle of the book indi-
Gates, "A Primer" the volume here
given to the public on the problem
presents in simple terms the colored
mans view of his position in the
world we live in today. The volume
is divided into eight chapters, the
opening one introducing the study
and five others an analysis of how
the Negro stands in different parts
of the world. These chapters, each
one devoted to the geographical
place selected, are the Negro and
Africa, Colonial West Indies, Pacific
Islands. Latin America and the
United States and Canada. The
concluding section deals with the
Negro and plans for world peace.
In many ways DR.. Logan's open
ing chapter is the most revealing
part of the book. He here discusses
the Negro from the biological point
of view and then examines how the
colored mans inferiority in positions
Of power and wealth has affected
the worlds judgment of his place in
nature. The book is temperately
written and brings out many facts
regarding the Negro not generally
known.
