A propos de cet article

American Negroes: A Handbook by Edwin R. Embree. New York: The John Day Company, 1942. Special Edition for Study Groups. An important and particularly interesting wartime-era handbook on African American life, history, and social conditions, published at a time when questions of race, citizenship, education, employment, and social equality were receiving increasing national attention. Edwin R. Embree, a prominent educator and president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, was deeply involved in efforts to document and improve the social and economic conditions of African Americans. This edition was specially issued for study groups, reflecting the period's growing use of organized discussion and adult education to address American racial issues. The book remains in its original paper wrappers, which are intact and show some staining and wear. The front/title page has some light smudging. The interior pages are otherwise clean, bright, and sharp, with only a small smudge on one index page. No marginalia, underlining, or ex libris markings noted. An appealing copy of a historically significant work, particularly interesting as an example of the educational literature being circulated for organized study and discussion of African American life in the United States during the early 1940s. …

Description de la boutique

Driven by a lifelong passion for rare books and the stories they carry, I specialize in curating historically significant works that illuminate the evolution of human thought — from early science and natural philosophy to exploration, conservation, and cultural heritage. My interest lies not only in the rarity of the object, but in its ability to teach, inspire, and connect us to the past. My catalog includes antiquarian books, early printed works, manuscripts and treatises from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a focus on natural history, science, exploration, and the preservation of the natural world. I'm especially drawn to works that document the early scientific imagination — from botanical studies and anatomical treatises to philosophical texts that predate modern scientific methods. You’ll also find books and ephemera related to wilderness exploration, wildlife studies, environmental stewardship, and the history of the American landscape, including materials on Southern Americana and the development of the U.S. National Parks. As someone based in Tennessee, I carry a deep respect for the region’s natural and cultural history, often reflected in my selections. I have a particular interest in provenance — volumes with notable ex-libris, inscriptions, marginalia, and ownership histories that offer a second layer of narrative. These marks of human connection and intellectual legacy are, to me, as valuable as the texts themselves. Each book I offer is part of my ongoing education — and my goal is to pass that learning on. Whether you’re a private collector, institutional buyer, or fellow enthusiast, I look forward to helping you discover works that are not only rare, but meaningful.…
