An ex-Library copy of this contemporary 1960s study of Civil Rights in the USA - the first impression of the first UK edition, published in 1963. The book was originally published in the USA by Harper & Row in 1962. ***Very good in dark-green cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright. No bumps to the boards. Corners sharp. Cloth clean and unmarked. The book would be described as near fine except for the fact that there are library stamps and enclosures. Internally very good, with no creases or tears. Pages clean. However, there is still a library sheet and sticker affixed to the front free endpaper and pastedown, a Kingston upon Hull Training College Library stamp to the title page, a stamp and writing to the printer's page, and a lending sheet and sticker to the front endpaper and pastedown respectively. There are also two vertical strips of tape off-setting to the front and rear free pastedowns, caused by the library having previously taped the dustwrapper to the boards. Interestingly, the library sheet at the back shows that the book was a very popular read in the 1970s! [Please see scans] ***In a good only original printed price-clipped dustwrapper designed by Michael Harvey. The dustwrapper would be described as very good, except for some staining to the top back of the front panel - not really visible from the front, and some tape offsetting along the edges of the front and rear flaps. The dustwrapper has only slight wear and rubbing at the edges. ***224mm x 145mm. 271 pages including Appendices, Bibliography and Index at the back of the book. ***'Here is a distinguished American Negro's comprehensive and informed report on his people's mood of militancy, and a searching examination of the reasons for it. He explains that the current Negro revolt is directed not only against the white world but also against the entrenched leadership of the old-guard Negro organizations. In the process of explaining this twofold revolt, Mr. Lomax takes a searching new look at American history and examines Negro leadership organizations in detail. ***This is a book of facts: you will learn who runs the old and new Negro leadership organizations, where they get their support, what their goals and problems are. ***This is a book of personalities: Mr. Lomax gives candid profiles of Negro leaders from Martin Luther King to Elijah Muhammad, and reveals the feelings of the Negro man-in-the-street. ***This is a book based on personal experience: the reader will visit a Southern church during a revival meeting, sit in on a press conference with Martin Luther King, watch a Harlem street-corner speaker inflame a crowd against the white man. ***"The Negro Revolt" explains the current wave of racial unrest in terms of people, revealing the human passions and strivings that lie behind the headlines. It is a dramatic, significant and, it must be stressed, entirely impartial book which presents the facts about one of the most troubling problems of our time, as seen from the inside. It should be read by everyone who believes in freedom and in democracy, and who is disturbed by the apparent disregard by many people, as shown by recent events in England as well as America, of these two essentials to which everyone, whatever his colour, is entitled.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A first UK edition which, although being an ex-library copy, is in nice condition. Of interest to collectors of contemporary works on the racial unrest and Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Considering the wave of concern which gave birth to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, it is shocking to think that this book is already 58 years old! ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
