Washington DC: Howard University, College of Education, 1939. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. FROM THE JNE WEBSITE: "The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people; and third, to stimulate and sponsor investigations of issues incident to the education of Black people." The journal has been in continuous publication by Howard University since 1932, when it was founded by Charles H. Thompson. This is VOLUME VIII, a very early publication. Early volumes are very scarce outside of libraries. No. 3 focuses on the status of the Negro in the American social order and on race relations and racial prejudice. It also includes a very interesting section on predictions for Negro status in 1950, including an article by W.E.B. du Bois. In addition to Du Bois, contributions by Rufus E. Clement, Ralph Bunche, and many others.Bound in green cloth boards with gilt title to spine. Sunning to spine. Pages are yellowed but clean. Some marginal notes and underlining in No. 3.
