Hubert Anthony Shands
Hubert Anthony Shands (1872–1955) was a professor and author in Mississippi.[1][2] His published works include a book on peculiarities of speech in Mississippi, a collection of short stories, and a novel dealing with themes including religion, morality, and race relations are among his publishings.[3]
He was born in Sardis, Mississippi. His father was a lawyer, Democratic Party politician, and law school dean at the University of Mississippi Garvin Dugas Shands.[3] Hubert Shands received a B.A., M.A. and Phd from the University of Mississippi. He received a second Phd from the University of Halle Wittenberg in Germany.[3]
Hubert Harrison gave a highly favorable review of his book White and Black, calling it "a stark realistic study of racial relations in a country district of Southeastern Texas."[4] Harrison compared it to T. S. Stribling's novel Birthright.[4] A review in The Freeman described it as a novel with body and backbone.[5] A brief writeup in The Negro Yearbook noted it addressed tenant farming, lynching, the legal system, and morality.[6]
