I Have a Kind of Fear: Confessions from the writings of white teachers and black students in city schools

Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1969. Very Good/Very Good. Chicago: Quadrangle, [1969]. First Edition. Square quarto; publisher's cloth in photo-illustrated price-clipped dust jacket; 139pp.; black and white photographic illus. throughout. Moderate wear to jacket margins including a few small chips and closed tears, faint foxing to cloth, heavier foxing to top textblock edge, contemporary gift inscription to front free endpaper and ownership address label to front pastedown, else a Very Good, internally clean and sound copy.

Scarce publication documenting the often-fraught dynamic of the white teacher in a predominantly Black school system. The text consists of direct quotes from students and teachers accompanied by candid and often poignant portraits in the classroom. Though amply held institutionally, the book is elusive in the trade.
