A scarce, jacketed copy of the first printing of October 1941, of this classic work on race relations in the Jim Crow South. The social anthropologists Allison Davis (and his wife Elizabeth), Burleigh B. Gardner, Mary R. Gardner, and J. G. St. Clair Drake, lived among the people of Natchez, Mississippi, as well-trained participant-observers, investigating how class and caste informed daily life in a typical southern community. From the front flap: ''They saw the restrictions imposed upon the Negroes, the patterns of case deference, the constantly subordinate role, At the same time they saw what this means to the individual Negro: hos problems of adjustment, his anxieties and frustrations, his reveries of rebellion or escape. Illustrated with dramatic interview-material, the book reveals the behavior patterns, sentiments, and strivings of the climbers of the ''democratic ladder'' -- from the top the bottom. Here are the ''poor-but-respectables (the lower middles), the ancestor-worshiping ''old families'' (the upper uppers), the new status-proud Negro upper class, the ''poor whites,'' and the ''common'' or folk Negroes.
