Du Bois's groundbreaking social study of black Americans living in Philadelphia at the end of the 1800s remains an outstanding and thorough example of sociology.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing knowledge gained from research of black neighborhoods during his time at the University of Pennsylvania, Du Bois was determined to create an all-embracing profile of urban black American society. Some three years of intensive research, interviews, and statistical gathering went into \u003cem\u003eThe Philadelphia Negro\u003c\/em\u003e; it revealed endemic social prejudices and the abject poverty which many black Americans endured. The area studied was the Seventh Ward - a borough of Philadelphia which included the impoverished black ghetto, the striving middle-classes, and even affluent whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Du Bois, the root causes of the social divide were ingrained negative perceptions towards black Americans, such as the notion that black workers are innately dishonest or indolent. Incidents of racial discrimination, whereby blacks in a line of business or seeking employ are turned aside on the basis of skin color, are numerous. More positively, the author unearthed multiple appraisals from those who had employed black workers - some only as a last resort - who became very impressed at their employee's diligence, ability and passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning the education, recreation, work, housing and environment conditions, and much more besides, \u003cem\u003eThe Philadelphia Negro\u003c\/em\u003e remains a landmark text of sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 422\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978224697645,"sku":"9781789872286","price":26.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/bUtGUlE0UTBwTHBqUGJOamhTZzMydz09.webp?v=1775801119","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-philadelphia-negro-a-social-study-and-history-of-pennsylvanias-black-american-population-their-education-environment-and-work-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
