Book Review of "Morals and Manners Among Negro Americans. A Reprint of the 1914 Edition by Du Bois, W.E.B. and Augustus Granville Dill, Editors ([1914] 2011 with an Introduction and Additional Editing by Robert A. Wortham."

Abstract

What makes this reprint of original research by a pioneer American sociologist unique is that Wortham has carefully and systematically codified the survey findings in tabular form, and draws empirically-based conclusions from the data. Also, he relates aspects of the original report to commentary by modern sociologists showing how Du Bois had anticipated comparable modern phenomena.
