Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Originally published: New York: Arbor Press, 1918. v (new
introduction), vi, 207, 1] pp. With a new introduction by Paul

an odd but very important and extremely useful book. Written nearly
a century ago, it is an example of the best of the Ph.D.
dissertations of the first generation of doctoral students in the
social sciences. It lacks any great theoretical framework or much
analysis, but it is chock full of information, facts, tables, and
excerpts from laws. It is also useful because many of the laws set
out in this volume are not easily found otherwise. Despite the
massive growth of material on the internet or in machine readable
form, early laws are still hard to locate. Anyone interested in the
history of segregation and racism will find Johnson's pioneering
work invaluable."
