The historical material in previous editions has been brought down to date and re-arranged as far as the addition of new material and changes in the significance of the topics relating to the Negro seemed to demand. There is a mass of material in the review of the events relating to the Negro, 19191921, interpreting the attitude of the Negro. This data is compiled from every available source and has been supplemented by the researches of the editor, especially with reference to Lynchings, Riots, Migration, the Negro in Politics, Race-relations and Inter-racial Co-operation. The Negro Year Book is the standard book of reference on all matters relating to the Negro and is the most extensively used compendium of information on this subject. It circulates widely in every part of the United States and to a considerable extent in Canada, the West Indies, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The present edition contains new information about the attitude of the African, what he wants in both West and South Africa, and contains a map showing the territorial changes and distribution according to existing mandates. In the section on the Negro Population in the United States the reader will find new material on Migration on Black Counties, the black and mulatto elements in the population, changes in land-tenure, and comparative statistics of the Negro and white population in cities of 2,000 or more inhabitants This edition of the Negro Year Book has the most extensive and up-to-date bibliography which has yet been put out on the Negro in the United States.
