About The Book: The Negro a Menace to American Civilization by R. W. Shufeldt is a controversial and now widely discredited work reflecting the racist beliefs of its time. In it, Shufeldt argued, from a pseudo-scientific and eugenicist perspective, that African Americans posed a threat to American society. The book draws on biased interpretations of biology, anthropology, and social theory, promoting ideas that reinforced racial prejudice. Today, it is studied mainly as a historical example of scientific racism.
