The Nigger: An American Play In Three Acts is a play written by Edward Sheldon and first published in 1910. The play deals with the theme of racial discrimination and the struggle of African Americans in the United States during the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young black man named Tom Anderson, who is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death. The play explores the themes of injustice, prejudice, and the struggle for civil rights. It also examines the complex relationships between black and white Americans during this time period. The Nigger is considered a landmark work in American theater, as it was one of the first plays to address the issue of racial discrimination in a frank and honest manner. Despite its controversial title, the play was well-received and became a popular work in the early 20th century. Today, it is still studied and performed as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
