History of African-American Sociology manuscript, 1984-1985 and undated

This series contains several drafts of a book manuscript by Paul C. Jefferson on African-American sociology. The drafts consist of chapter outlines containing detailed analysis of primary and secondary sources. Most of the materials are undated. Two progress reports to the Fellowship Office of the National Research Council from 1984 and 1985 suggest that Jefferson conducted substantial research for this project in the mid 1980s, while the publication dates of several secondary sources discussed in the drafts indicate that Jefferson continued to work on the project at least until the early 1990s. Major figures treated in this manuscript include George Edmund Haynes, Charles S. Johnson, and W.E.B. Du Bois.
