Grand Rapids MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [light shelfwear, a bit of spotting to top edge of text block, gift inscription on half-title page; jacket has very shallow chipping along top edge, minor paper loss at bottom corners of front panel, about a 1" split at both top and bottom front hinge]. Oh my dear, oh dear -- this white lady author wants the reader to know all about "the Negroes whom I have come to know well in the twenty-two years I have lived in the deep South. They mow my lawn, wash my clothes and work in my kitchen. I have been much impressed by their simplicity, their humorous philosophy, and the great advance they have made in less than a hundred years from slavery to their present standard of living." Replete throughout with cringe-worthy black dialect. .
