Book Description

Excerpt from Elm City a Negro Community in Action The literature in Sociology for North Carolina is particularly devoid of studies of Negro communities which adequately show social processes. Usual literature deals with the subject in the form of delightfully fictional picturization, or in the cold, matter-of-fact manner of statistical analysis. Both methods fail to interpret the Negro in his actual day to day activities and interrelationships with members of his own and other races. In view of such a hiatus in the literature, this description of Elm City, a Negro community in Wilson County, North Carolina, makes a needed contribution. Much attention is given to personalities, group relationships, and to the integrative forces which play parts in the community pattern. Finally, a technique for rating a community is applied, from which the quality of the community is immediately apparent.
