Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Six years ago I met a young colored man, a college student recently returned from Germany where he had been engaged in graduate work. He was born, he told me, in one of the Gulf States, and I questioned him as to whether he intended going back to the South to teach. His answer was in the negative. "My father has attained success in his native state," he said, "but when I ceased to be a boy, he advised me to live in the North where my manhood would be respected. He himself cannot continually endure the position in which he is placed, and in the summer he comes North to be a man. No," correcting himself, "to be half a man. A Negro is wholly a man only in Europe. Half a man! During the six years that I have been in touch with the problem of the Negro in New York this characterization has grown in significance to me. I have endeavored to know the life of the Negro as I know the life of the white American, and I have learned that while New York at times gives full recognition to his manhood, again, its race prejudice arrests his development as certainly as severe poverty arrests the development of the tenement child. Perhaps a study of this shifting attitude on the part of the dominant race, and of the Negro's reaction under it, may not be unimportant; for the color question cannot be ignored in America, nor should the position taken by her largest city be overlooked.

"Miss Ovington's book is a rare combination of genuine scholarship and charming literary style. Exact as a sociologist, she is not, however, deterred from exercising at times a pretty wit, and her tale of prejudice and handicap is enlivened by many an amusing and touching tale." -The New York Times "Marked by frankness and thorough knowledge." -The Nation "The honesty with which Miss Ovington has made her observations is at the same time warmly tinged with sympathy and of a very rare quality; and her appreciation, frankness, and discrimination are most unusual. The result is that she arrives at a very unusual understanding of the difficulties under which the colored man, woman, and child, suffers by mere reason of the color." -American Journal of Sociology "'Miss Ovington's description of the Status of the Negro in New York City,' writes Dr. Boas, one of the most eminent anthropologists of the country, and the chairman of the committee under the auspices of which these investigations have been conducted, 'is based on a most painstaking inquiry into his social and economic conditions and brings out in the most powerful way the difficulties under which the race is laboring, even the large cosmopolitan population of New York. It is a refutation of the claims that the Negro has equal opportunity with the whites, and that his failure to advance more rapidly than he has is due to innate inability.'" -St. Louis Public Library Monthly Bulletin "Melancholy and humiliating is the picture presented of the harsh and often obviously illegal discrimination that the colored person of cosmopolitan New York struggles against, most often in vain, in the attempt to win a livelihood and to secure some modest measure of happiness and comfort and self-respect. Provincial, not cosmopolitan, is our metropolis in some of her prejudices as compared with Paris and London, where other alien races besides the African have had occasion to note with gratitude the humanity shown to them at a time when American rudeness had left them tingling with humiliation and indignation. And from Miss Ovington's showing the conditions are not at present improving....Miss Mary White Ovington gives the suggestive title 'Half a Man' to her careful study." -The Dial "Miss Ovington has made a very careful study of the condition of the colored people in this city, and has presented it truthfully and clearly. The chief impression gained from it is that the title of the book is a correct one, for the Negro is not allowed more than half an opportunity in any field of competitive industry. If he has a higher mortality than the whites, and a larger percentage of criminals, it is what might be expected of a class which finds itself shut up to the lowest employments and the poorest financial emolument." -The Independent "Interesting study...his housing, sanitary and moral conditions, children, means of livelihood, effects of race prejudice, etc., published under the supervision of the Greenwich House Committee on Social Investigations." -New York State Library Annual Report CONTENTS I "Up from Slavery" II Where the Negro Lives III The Child of the Tenement IV Earning a Living--Manual Labor and the Trades V Earning a Living--Business and the Professions VI The Colored Woman as a Bread Winner VII Rich and Poor VIII The Negro and the Municipality IX Conclusion Appendix
