Description - Race and Nationality as Factors in American Life by Henry Pratt Fairchild
A book suppressed after its first appearance because it outlined the importance of race in the development-and continued existence of-the U.S. Written by a professor emeritus of sociology at New York University, the book answers the question "What is America?": "It was not even called America before the white men came. There was no America when the Indians held undisputed sway, not on this continent or anywhere else. "America did not exist at the time Columbus reached the end of his voyage, or when a band of Pilgrims moored their bark, or a group of sea-weary Englishmen landed on a southern shore. "America was built, step by step and piece by piece, by the colonists - from England, from Holland, from France, from Sweden-and by their descendants generation after generation." Th author was one of the early leaders of the immigration restriction movements and first president of the Population Association of America.
