Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Barbara Deming spent nearly two months in a jail in Albany, Georgia, where the Quebec-Washington-Guantanamo March for Peace on which she was embarked with thirty-four other demonstrators was halted by the local authorities. Their use of non-violent means of protest did no…t terminate with their internment. Their principal weapon was a refusal to eat -- so drastic that some required force-feeding in the hospital. Barbara Deming writes of the philosophy behind this noncooperation or non-violence as a dramatic technique, a method of persuasion. The decisions of each prisoner on how to proceed in the face of his conviction and their collective stamina force the reader as well to consider the stakes. The demonstrators won a victory and were freed to march on through the town where they had been arrested. Intact pages, sign of aging on the faded cover., but no tear or damage. Box #1.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. near fine. First Edition. First printing in book form, octavo size, 212 pp., signed by Barbara Deming. Barbara Deming (1917-1984) tells, in this memoir, why and how she was jailed - not once, but twice - for participating in "an integrated cross-country peace walk" in Albany, Georgia. Deming was…known for her advocacy for social change having been influenced by Gandhi, and was a prolific author. A committed lesbian, after a series of relationships (the first with the sister of Edna St. Vincent Millay) she lived the final years of her life, beginning in 1969, with the painter Jane Verlaine. This is a personal story, wherein she "recalls how, from within the jail - most of them fasting - they succeeded finally in altering the city's rigid stand, and how it felt to endure in their cramped and filthy cages until they did succeed" (n.b., from jacket flap). Her story was originally related as a serial in "Liberation". ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full light rust cloth over boards, brown lettering on the spine, top edge stained red, light brown endpapers with Deming's signature in blue ink on the front free endpaper, with nineteen pages of reproductions of black-and-white photographs in a separate section at the rear; binding octavo size (8 3/8" by 5 1/2"), pagination: [i-vi] 1-185 [1, blank] [19] [1, colophon]. The dust jacket is of plain brown paper, black lettering on the front panel and spine, short summary of the book on the front flap and short author bio on the back flap. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; some foxing to the text block edges, else fine. The jacket also near fine, clean other than a few light, stray marks, with a modicum of edgewear. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note the following: (i) additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs, please inquire for details; and (ii) any taxes, duty, or tariffs charged by your country will, of necessity, be your responsibility. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
