Carlton Putnam’s Race and Reason is still one of the clearest accounts ever written of the importance of race differences for American society. It was tremendously popular when it first appeared in 1961, and its insights are as fresh and penetrating as ever.
Race and Reason was made part of the high school curricula in Mississippi and Virginia, and Governor Ross Barnett of Mississippi declared October 26, 1961, “Race and Reason Day.”
This New Century Books edition includes a preface by Jared Taylor.

“No one did more to combat the racial folly of the 1960s than Carlton Putnam. Although he has been written out of the history books, history has nevertheless proven him right on all counts.”
—Jared Taylor
