The American Dream and the Negro. 100 Years of Freedom?

By the author of Black Metropolis (1945)

---

First edition, thus. Three lectures by John Gibbs St. Clair Drake, pioneering sociologist and anthropologist. Drake played a foundational role in the development of African American Studies in the United States, teaching for six decades at institutions including Dillard, Roosevelt, Ghana, and Stanford.

A committed Pan-Africanist and social activist, Drake refused military service in a segregated U.S. armed forces during World War II and later advised African leaders, including Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah. His scholarship, particularly Black Metropolis (1945) and Black Folk Here and There (1987), remains critical to the study of race, capitalism, and nationalism.
