By B.F. Riley

Book Overview

The White Man's Burden is a book written by Benjamin Franklin Riley in 1910. The book discusses the issue of interracial relations, with a particular focus on the responsibility of the white race in addressing the ""Negro problem."" The author argues that the white race has a duty to uplift and educate African Americans, and that this responsibility is a burden that must be shouldered in order to maintain social order and prevent racial conflict. The book explores the historical context of race relations in America, including the legacy of slavery and the Reconstruction Era, and offers insights into the social and political factors that have contributed to the ongoing struggle for racial equality. The White Man's Burden is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of race relations in America, and remains relevant today as a historical document and a commentary on contemporary issues of race and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
