Description

Published in 1899, The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study is a landmark in empirical sociological research that documents the living circumstances of urban Black Americans. This groundbreaking work by W. E. B. Du Bois broke new ground in the field of sociology and remains a vital model for scholars today.

First published at the dawn of sociology, The Philadelphia Negro provides a framework for studying black communities and has steadily grown in importance since its original publication. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by Lawrence Bobo, this edition is an essential resource for anyone interested in African American history and sociology.
