Scope and arrangement
The Notes for "Race, Class and Party" collection consist primarily of notecards organized by subject and state for Lewinson's book, Race, Class and Party: A History of Negro Suffrage and White Politics in the South (1932), published by Oxford University Press. Subjects include the Old South, slavery, suffrage, general politics, and race prejudice. In addition, there are a postscript Lewinson wrote in 1964 for a later edition to his book, a letter from his publisher, and two publications: "The Negro in the White Class and Party Struggle" (1928 journal article) and A Guide to Documents in the National Archives for Negro Studies (1947).
