by Wesley Critz George, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Histology and Embryology, University of North Carolina
[Montgomery or Birmingham, Alabama]: Prepared by Commission of the Governor of Alabama, 1962; 1st edition; NO ILLUSTRATIONS; with 87,(i) pages bound in original hardcover cloth. Book measures approx. 6 1/4 inches by 9 1/2 inches by 3/8 inches thick. (A paper cover edition was also published but I am offering the hardcover edition).Dr. George made a small fortune during the early and mid-1960s publishing these kinds of titles and especially on the occasion, in 1962,of hiring himself out to GovernorJohn Pattersonof Alabama as Alabama\'s official state ethnologist and sociologist.
FINE CONDITIONHere\'s a brief biographical sketch of Dr. George, taken from a free online source:Wesley Critz George (1888–1982) was a professor of histology and embryology at the medical school of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he chaired the anatomy department. He was an internationally-recognized researcher on the genetics of race. George is remembered for his 87-page pamphlet, The Biology of the Race Problem, printed for the Commission of the Governor (John Patterson) of Birmingham, Alabama, 1962.
George argued for biological race realism, and saved special venom for Frank Boas and his disciples. George used some of the same materials on intelligence tests that Arthur Jensen and Charles Murray among others later used as evidence of lower black average intelligence.
Materials from 1944, and preserved at the University of North Carolina document George\'s theories concerning the genetic basis of racial differences in average intelligence. There are also letters documenting George\'s disputes with religious leaders, particularly at the Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, about racial mixing in churches, and George\'s disapproval of the liberal tendencies of university president Frank Porter Graham and sociologist Howard W. Odum. After the 1954 Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education decision, George\'s fight against school integration escalated, reaching its height in 1955 - 1957, when George was active in the Patriots of North Carolina and then in the North Carolina Defenders of States\' Rights which picked up the anti-integration banner after the Patriots\' demise.
George\'s activities in I. Beverly Lake\'s unsuccessful campaign for North Carolina governor are reflected in documents dated 1958 - 1960. George was also interested in race policies in other nations, specifically in Rhodesia and South Africa. Among his correspondents in the North Carolina archive are Carleton S. Coon, James P. Dees, Henry E. Garrett, Luther Hodges, R. Carter Pittman, Carleton Putnam, Clayton Rand, and Archibald Roosevelt. The archive also contains a considerable number of letters and other items that George received from individuals and organizations that also viewed race differences in average intelligence to be partly fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-)
