Indian-White Amalgamation

Indian-White Amalgamation: An Anthropometric Study is a book written by Albert Ernest Jenks and published in 1916. The book is a detailed study of the physical characteristics of individuals of mixed Indian and White ancestry. Jenks, who was a renowned anthropologist and ethnologist, conducted extensive research on the subject and collected data from various sources, including government records, census reports, and personal observations.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of Indian-White amalgamation. The first chapter provides an overview of the history and prevalence of mixed-race individuals in the United States. The second chapter discusses the physical characteristics of these individuals, including their height, weight, and cranial measurements.The third chapter examines the racial identity of mixed-race individuals and the challenges they face in identifying with either the Indian or White community. The fourth chapter explores the social and cultural factors that influence Indian-White amalgamation, including intermarriage, migration, and assimilation.The fifth and final chapter of the book provides a summary of Jenks' findings and conclusions. He argues that Indian-White amalgamation is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that cannot be reduced to simple biological or cultural factors. Instead, he suggests that a more nuanced understanding of the subject is necessary, one that takes into account the historical, social, and cultural contexts in which it occurs.Overall, Indian-White Amalgamation: An Anthropometric Study is a seminal work in the field of anthropology and provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of race, ethnicity, and identity in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
