Democracy and Race Feriction

By John Moffatt Mecklin

Book Overview

Democracy and Race Friction: A Study in Social Ethics is a book written by John Moffatt Mecklin and published in 1914. The book explores the relationship between democracy and race friction, focusing on the ethical implications of racial discrimination and prejudice in democratic societies. Mecklin argues that democracy is inherently incompatible with racial discrimination and that the principles of social justice and equality must be upheld in order to create a truly democratic society. He examines the historical and contemporary examples of racial discrimination in the United States and Europe, and offers a critical analysis of the social and political factors that contribute to racial tension and conflict. Mecklin also discusses the role of education and social reform in addressing race friction, and proposes a series of ethical principles and practices that can help to promote racial harmony and social justice in democratic societies. The book is a seminal work in the field of social ethics and continues to be widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
