About This Item
New York: The Free Press, 1991. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition/First Printing. Hardcover in unclipped dustjacket. 322 pages with source notes, photographs and index. Forty million Americans indulged in a national obsession in 1930: They eagerly tuned in Amos 'n' Andy, the nightly radio serial in which a pair of white actors portrayed the adventures of two southern black men making a new life in a northern city. Brings a new and refreshing subtlety and complexity to our understanding of American racial attitudes as well as white, during the first half of the century. Light touch of edgewear to the dustjacket and a 1/4" tear to the bottom of the back cover, otherwise a very good dustjacket over a near fine book. Unread. Ships in well-padded box..
