(SOCIAL SCIENCE--JONES, WILLIAM H.) Recreation and Amusement Among Negroes in Washington, D.C. A Sociological Analysis of the Negro in an Urban Environment. Large folding plate of the Howard U.-Lincoln U. Football Game, and additional illustrations. 8vo, original cloth, re-cased. Washington: Howard University Press, 1927
scarce first edition. Includes some rather unusual chapters on cabaret and nightclubs as well as "modern dance" and the "role of the poolroom." Other interesting chapters include the barbershop as "informal recreation," and the role of the theatre and so-called "photoplay" houses in social life. A fascinating snapshot of black city life in the 1920s.
