""Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro and Appreciation and Interest"" is a book written by Frederick Ludwig Hoffman in 1896. The book is a study of the African American population in the United States during the late 19th century. It explores the physical, mental, and cultural characteristics of African Americans, as well as their social and economic status. The book also discusses the history of slavery and the impact it had on the African American population. Hoffman's work is considered controversial due to his use of racist language and his promotion of eugenics, which was a popular theory at the time. Despite its flaws, the book provides valuable insight into the attitudes towards African Americans during this period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
