The Negro: The Southerner's Problem

The Negro: The Southerner's Problem is a collection of essays by Thomas Nelson Page, first published in 1904, that examines race relations in the post-Civil War American South. Page explores the historical context of the racial divide, focusing on the consequences of emancipation and the challenges faced by both black and white communities. He addresses the complexities of the 'Negro Question' and aims to foster an informed dialogue about race, drawing from his observations of the societal dynamics between Southern and Northern perspectives. The work is notable for its candid approach to a sensitive and contentious topic in American history.
