The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy

The book offers a snapshot of how scholars in the immediate aftermath of the Great War tried to make sense of shifting global demographics. Drawing on political history and contemporary biological thought, the author argues that the conflict exposed deep‑seated tensions between the so‑called white societies and the growing populations of Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Through a series of maps and statistical tables, the work charts where various racial groups were concentrated and how migrations might redraw national boundaries. The introduction, written by a leading naturalist of the era, frames the discussion as a warning about future upheavals, suggesting that peace without a clear settlement on these issues could lead to further instability. Readers interested in the intellectual climate of the 1920s will find this a detailed, if dated, exploration of the period’s anxieties about race and geopolitics.
