Description: Gaines's The Negro and the White Man is an overview of African American history that focuses on the developing role of black Americans in the early 20th century. Decrying the moral effect of slavery on slave and master, it discusses the difficulties faced by the newly freed slave and the resulting problems that affected integration, enfranchisement and the sectional politics of the 19th century. Among the contemporary issues discussed are the need for education, including statistical evidence for its importance, economic power, intermarriage, cultural activities and religion.
