The Name “Negro” Its Origin and Evil Use

The Name “Negro” Its Origin and Evil Use by Richard Benjamin Moore is a revised edition published by Black Classic Press in 1992, comprising 108 pages. This book examines the exploitive nature of the term “Negro,” tracing its origins back to the African slave trade and exploring how this label was employed to segregate African descendants and reinforce notions of their supposed inferiority.

Readers will find a detailed analysis of the historical implications of the term within the context of African American and Black history, as well as its impact on language and sociolinguistics. The study delves into the intersections of language, social science, and ethnic studies, providing a reference point for understanding the term’s legacy and its role in shaping societal perceptions. This edition serves as a resource for those interested in genealogy, heraldry, and the broader implications of language in social contexts.
