Froudacity; West Indian Fables by James Anthony Froude Explained by J. J.…
"Froudacity: West Indian Fables by James Anthony Froude Explained by J. J. Thomas" is a polemic written in 1889. John Jacob Thomas penned this fierce rebuttal to James Anthony Froude's racist travelogue attacking West Indian self-governance. After Froude argued that Black majority rule would oppress whites and claimed racial inferiority justified colonial control, Thomas methodically dismantled these assertions. He exposed factual errors, documented governmental corruption, and celebrated Black intellectuals like Frederick Douglass.
This became Thomas's final and most celebrated work, completed shortly before his death from pneumonia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
