The Negro In Pennsylvania: A Study In Economic History by Richard R. Wright Jr. is a comprehensive examination of the economic and social experiences of African Americans in Pennsylvania from the colonial period to the early 20th century. The book explores the ways in which African Americans in Pennsylvania were able to establish their own communities, businesses, and institutions despite facing significant obstacles such as slavery, discrimination, and economic marginalization. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including census data, court records, and personal accounts, Wright provides a detailed analysis of the economic activities of African Americans in Pennsylvania, including their involvement in agriculture, manufacturing, and trade. He also examines the impact of slavery and the Civil War on the economic fortunes of African Americans in the state, as well as the role of education and political activism in promoting economic advancement.Overall, The Negro In Pennsylvania offers a nuanced and insightful account of the economic history of African Americans in Pennsylvania, shedding light on the challenges they faced as well as the remarkable resilience and resourcefulness they demonstrated in building their own economic and social networks in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
