About This Item
University of Chicago Press, 1959. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE. 12mo, green cloth, black stamped spine lettering. Some trivial foxing to top edge, exceedingly clean and sharp otherwise with tight binding; DJ just trivially rubbed around the edges with faintly toned spine, price intact and wrapped in mylar. A hotly debated monograph treating the peculiar shape of American 'Chattel' Slavery and its lasting impact on Black Americans, with a critical analysis of American abolitionism versus its British counterpart.
