Published in 1944, What the Negro Wants was a direct and emphatic
call for the end of segregation and racial discrimination that set
the agenda for the civil rights movement to come. With essays by
fourteen prominent African American intellectuals, including
Langston Hughes, Sterling Brown, Mary McLeod Bethune, A. Philip
Randolph, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Roy Wilkins, What the Negro Wants
explores the policies and practices that could be employed to
achieve equal rights and opportunities for Black Americans,
rejecting calls to reform the old system of segregation and instead
arguing for the construction of a new system of equality. Stirring
intense controversy at the time of publication, the book serves as
a unique window into the history of the civil rights movement and
offers startling comparisons to today's continuing fight against
racism and inequality. Originally gathered together by
distinguished Howard University historian Rayford W. Logan in 1944,
our 2001 edition of the book includes Rayford Logan's introduction
to the 1969 reprint, a new introduction by Kenneth Janken, and an
updated bibliography.

The relations of the United States with Haiti have been different
from American relations with any other nation; they have been vital
and at times even dramatic. They climaxed in 1891 when the United
States failed to make Haiti lease her Mole St. Nicolas. This
failure constitutes an amazing episode in American diplomatic
hostory. Recounting the story of Haiti's struggle for independence,
the book discusses her diplomatic relations with the United States.
Originally published in 1941.
