[Review of the book Race Psychology: A Study of Racial Mental Differences

Abstract

Reviews the book, Race Psychology: A Study of Racial Mental Differences by Thomas Russell Garth (1931). It is evident as one reads that this book has been written with the layman in mind. Whole chapters are presented to establish a background which would not be necessary if the book were addressed to psychologists. The experimental literature is non-critically and, in many instances, summarily presented To the layman the evidence will probably support the thesis of the book that the found differences between races are due to nurture and not nature, (incidentally this is the reviewer's own point of view) but the professional psychologist may feel differently.
