Abstract

Almost twenty years ago Joel Williamson, professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, began work on this book, envisioned as the definitive history and reinterpretation of black-white relationships in our time. Along the way he modified his conceptions many times and detoured in 1977-78 to write New People, a study of the physical and cultural mixing of blacks and whites.
