some Negroes regard it as a solu-
ton to the Negro problem, it
creates a cleavage of greater
significance among Negroes than
among whites" (p.S3)
The blatant, nationallstic claim
to the cultural achievements of
Negroes with whom there is no
cultural contact. -. is an uncon-
scious assumption on the part of
Negroes that race is important
for achievement" Up. 92)
"(Negroes) have become aware
of events throughout. >. the world
which affect them" Up. 144)
At times his ability to cope with
his subject is revealed in incon-
sistent statements:
g.. whites are more inclined
to select a light Negro. whites
do not always select Negroes on
the basis of light color. ... Up.
So
light Negroes are becom-
ing relatively fewer in number.
-" Up. 63) =. so many Hght-skin-
ned Negroes are born every year
...." Up. 93)
"A significant proportion of the
dance bands in the country are
composed of Negroes" Up. 81
Further, he shows his blurred
vision on Negro life today through
his belief that people like Adam
Powell, Mordecai Johnson, and
Benjamin Mays are national
leaders" From the point of view
of a select group of white people
this may be so, but in terms of
reality, there are millions of
black Americans who have never
heard of these people. Were DR..
Rose to test his thesis among the
masses of Negroes in the rural
South - and in the cities, too -
and the thousands of colored mi
grants on the Pacific Coast, he
would be amazed to find how
wrong he is. Individuals like Jemi-
son the Baptist leader, Mrs. Beth
une, and Congressman Dawson are
acclaimed more widely as real
race spokesman.
Since the author has achieved
some prominence as a student of
Negro life in American society, it
is difficult to excuse him for MAX
ing these and other errors. One
of the major faults of white
savants and non-Negro interpre-
tiers of the Negro is they try to
comprehended a complex group
with a multitude of internal pro-
blems and differences without act
ually experiencing life among
them. Without doing this and
keeping abreast of recent litera-
ture and data on the subject, it is
impossible to have any real under
standing of the dynamic changes
that have taken place today or to
interpret current trends in terms
of their significance.
To assess the real value of this
work presents something of a pro-
blem. Negro morale is a difficult
subject to analyze, as would be
any factor which is a combina-
ton of soCio-economic and histori-
cal-psyCholOgical elements. Being
intangible in character, the status
of morale may be just the opposite
of what it appears. Yet, in spite
of the errors of Interpretation and
judgement, regardless of the mac
Curacies, and Inconsistencies, the
author has produced a helpful
book. 1t is a succinct statement of
the problem and sharply incisive
position of the Negro in American
society. 1t publicizes a fact of
which too few whites and many
Negroes are aware: They no
longer take it lying down. =.
The Negroes aim is full achieve
ment of democracy and its COM
comitants-liberty, equality and
fraternity"
