Dictionary of Races or Peoples (1911)

The Dictionary of Races or Peoples is a book published in 1911 by the United States Immigration Commission. It is a comprehensive reference work that provides detailed information about various races and ethnic groups from around the world. The book is divided into sections, each devoted to a different race or ethnic group, and includes information on their physical characteristics, cultural practices, history, and language. The book is intended as a resource for immigration officials, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the diversity of human populations. It includes entries on well-known groups such as the Chinese, Japanese, and Irish, as well as lesser-known groups such as the Ainu of Japan and the Samoyeds of Siberia. The Dictionary of Races or Peoples is an important historical document that reflects the attitudes and beliefs of its time. While some of the information presented is based on scientific research, much of it is colored by the prevailing racial and cultural biases of the early 20th century. As such, the book should be read with a critical eye, but it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of race and ethnicity.Reports Of The Immigration Commission.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
