  • E. Franklin Frazier's Sociology of Race and Class in Black America

    Charles JarmonARTICLEThe Black Scholar2013

    E. Franklin Frazier’s sociological approach to the question of race and class in America has been the subject of much study.1 This paper provides a background on how his contributions centered the debate on the scientific study of race. My objective is threefold: (1) to explore early influences leading to Frazier’s development as a sociologist, with special attention to the impact of his connections with Howard University and W. E.

  • Racial Beliefs Among Blacks and Whites
