Publisher's Synopsis
The Man Farthest Down: A Record of Observation and Study in Europe is a book written by Booker T. Washington, an American educator, author, and advisor to presidents. The book is a record of his observations and studies during his travels in Europe, where he visited several countries, including England, France, Italy, and Germany. Washington's main objective in writing this book was to provide an insight into the social and economic conditions of Europe, particularly as they related to African Americans. He wanted to show that despite the progress made in the United States, there was still much work to be done to improve the lives of African Americans. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of European society. Washington discusses topics such as the education system, the labor market, the role of women, and the treatment of minorities. He provides detailed descriptions of the people he met and the places he visited, and he also includes his own reflections and opinions on the issues he encountered. Overall, The Man Farthest Down is an insightful and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on European society in the early 20th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of race relations and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
