"Here is a powerful selection of fiction and nonfiction mirroring the Negro experience in America. The time sequence of the book extends from the midnight of slave time to now - 11 P.M. (when 'for America this may be the last opportunity she has to deal with black Americans and negotiate. Before the terrifying prospects of internal strife, armed suppression and needless destruction descend fully upon us all.' - Whitney M. Young, Jr.). The changes in black and white consciousness over the years are clearly evident in this clockwise turn of fiction and events". Contributors include James Baldwin, Claude Brown, T.R.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. 1st Edition. xl, 312 pp. 19th c. 3/4-leather & marbled boards. Leather rubbed along joints and corners of covers. Text browned. Very Good. First Edition. "Although sometimes attributed to Haslam its author was more likely . . . Edward Wright . . ., apothecary to the hospital from 1819 to 1830 when he was dismissed for drunkenness. . ., or one of his friends, for his devotion to the work and humanity to the patients is described in glowing terms patently intended to distinguish his outlook from Haslam's, his predecessor but one. . . . There follow accounts of 113 male and 28 female inmates including the after histories of Margaret Nicholson and James Hadfield both confined as 'criminal lunatics' for attempting the life of George III. Most descriptions of patients are stereotyped and coarse. . ." (Hunter & Macalpine, Three Hundred Years of Psychiatry 1535-1860, pp. 757-58.) "The author . . . was, or had been very recently, on the staff of the hospital. The tone of the book is coarse, the disclosure of individual cases unethical, so that it was small wonder that the Governors were outraged" (Leigh, Historical Development of British Psychiatry, pp. 134-35. "An apology for Bethlem Hospital, written in glowing terms and praising the staff, particularly apothecary Edward Wright and the two hospital physicians, for their humane and attentive treatment of the hospital's inmates. The anonymous author no doubt intended to improve Bethlem's reputation, which had taken a deserved beating at the hands of the 1815-16 parliamentary investigation eight years before" (Norman 1952). Bookplate of William Eugene Lewis. There is a pencil signature of a former owner on the title page. The signature looks like "Julius Chambers". Chambers was an "activist against psychiatric abuse. . . . In 1872, he returned to work and undertook a journalistic investigation of Bloomingdale Asylum, having himself committed with the help of some of his friends and the city editor. His intent was to obtain information about alleged abuse of inmates. After ten days, his collaborators on the project had him released. When articles and accounts of the experience were published in the Tribune, it led to the release of twelve patients who were not mentally ill, a reorganization of the staff and administration of the institution and, eventually, to a change in the lunacy laws. This later led to the publication of the book A Mad World and Its People(1876). From this time onward, Chambers was frequently invited to speak on the rights of the mentally ill and the need for proper facilities for their accommodation, care and treatment" (Wikipedia article on Julius Chambers).
