Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Negro Races, Vol. 1: A Sociological Study The author submits to the public this volume as one of a series which he proposes to publish consisting of a sociological study of mankind from the standpoint of race. Up to the present time sociologists, in tracing the evolution of society, have constructed theories based upon data selected promiscuously from opposite quarters of the earth and from many different races. This method would suffice if the races of men had lived in the same environment and had undergone the same stages of development But it will not suffice if the races have appeared upon the earth in succession and not simultaneously. If they have inhabited different zones and have been subject to different physical surroundings, it does not stand to reason that they could develop the same institutions and pass through identical stages of evolution. The author´s first object, therefore, is to establish the fact that each race has its distinctive institutions and special evolution corresponding to the locality in which it lives or has lived. The second object is to discover the factors and laws which explain the mental and moral characteristics and particular institutions of each general racial division, to the end that the principles and laws discovered may be applied to whatever is abnormal or retrogressive. If the first few volumes of the series should seem to lay stress upon the physical environment, it is because that factor is always predominant in the early stage of development, and only diminishes gradually as man strengthens his intellect and adds to his knowledge.
