atives have only 21,000,000 acres. On top of this the Union Parliament has passed a law making even the future purchase of land by Negroes illegal save in restricted areas! [112] The traveler Glave writes in the _Century Magazine_ (LIII, 913): "Formerly [in the Congo Free State] an ordinary white man was merely called 'bwana' or 'Mzunga'; now the merest insect of a pale face earns the title of 'bwana Mkubwa' [big master]." [113] E.D. Morel, in the _Nineteenth Century_. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER READING There is no general history of the Negro race. Perhaps Sir Harry H. Johnston, in his various works on Africa, has come as near covering the subject as any one writer, but his valuable books have puzzling inconsistencies and inaccuracies. Keane's _Africa_ is a helpful compendium, despite the fact that whenever Keane discovers intelligence in an African he immediately discovers that its possessor is no "Negro." The articles in the latest edition of the _Encyclopaedia Britannica_ are of some value, except the ridiculous article on the "Negro" by T.A. Joyce. Frobenius' newly published _Voice of Africa_ is broad-minded and informing, and Brown's _Story of Africa and its Explorers_ brings together much material in readable form. The compendiums by Keltie and White, and Johnston's _Opening up of Africa_ are the best among the shorter treatises. None of these authors write from the point of view of the Negro as a man, or with anything but incidental acknowledgment of the existence or value of his history. We may, however, set down certain books under the various subjects which the chapters have treated. These books will consist of (1) standard works for wider reading and (2) special works on which the author has relied for his statements or which amplify his point of view. _The latter are starred_.
