Chamberlain, Bernard Peyton. The Negro and Crime in Virginia. [Charlottesville, VA]: University of Virginia, 1936. 132 pp. Sewn printed wrappers. Moderately worn. Internally clean. A very good copy. $20. * This book, a publication of the University of Virginia's Phelps-Stokes Fellowship Papers, is a historical treatise that aims to analyze the factors surrounding "Negro criminality" during the time period. In the preface, Chamberlain notes the significant difficulty in finding reliable first-hand information for his study. He discovered that courts rarely kept separate records for African Americans, and the 1920 federal census data was outdated. He utilized various data sources, including questionnaires sent to judges and clerks (which were slow to appear and disappointing in content), the 1930 federal census figures, and later prison reports to draw his conclusions. The study specifically covers the social conditions, laws, and statistics related to crime and the African American population in Virginia in the early 20th century. Contents: Preface; I. Introduction; II. The Negro; III. The Negro in Virginia; IV. Criminality in General; V. Negro Criminality in Virginia; VI. Some Concluding Observations; Appendix: Report of Virginia Commission on Crimes and Prisons.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mounthaven is a multi-layered tale. Four generations and a hundred years of a Virginia family that, having survived the Civil War, acquires a derelict mansion and surrounding acreage called Mounthaven. The year is 1903. The place is already over a century old when Mary Carter Stokes, wife of a failed Yankee gentleman farmer and daughter of Major Moses Carter, late of the Army of Northern Virginia, first sees the property - no plumbing, no electricity and the grounds a total disaster -- and it begins to sink in that this is to be where she will eventually die.Thus it becomes the story of Mary's elder son, Edmund Carter Stokes and his Yankee but wealthy bride, as Ed, using Mounthaven as a base, struggles to complete the mission laid upon him by his mother-- to restore the family to the place in society it occupied before the war - while Ed's own son, Carter, flounders to free himself from these very values, for most of which Mounthaven serves as a decaying metaphor.
