Hardcover. NY, Helga M. Rogers, reprint, 1972, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in bright dust jacket. In the Sex and Race series, first published in the 1940s, historian Joel Augustus Rogers questioned the concept of race, the origins of racial differentiation, and the root of the "color problem." Rogers surmised that a large percentage of ethnic differences are the result of sociological factors and in these volumes he gathered what he called "the bran of history"--the uncollected, unexamined history of black people--in the hope that these neglected parts of history would become part of the mainstream body of Western history. Drawing on a vast amount of research, Rogers was attempting to point out the absurdity of racial divisions. Indeed his belief in one race--humanity--precluded the idea of several different ethnic races. The series marshals the data he had collected as evidence to prove his underlying humanistic thesis: that people were one large family without racial boundaries. Self-trained and self-published, Rogers and his work were immensely popular and influential during his day, even cited by Malcolm X. Clean copy.

Hardcover. Zurich, Scalo, 1st, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 288 pages Illustrated with 206 b&w photos. What began as simple curiosity blossomed into an object of national pride; when Seydou Keita bought a camera to take pictures of his family, neighbors assumed his services were for hire and enlisted him to take portraits of themselves and their homes, turning a carpenter into a photographer and a hobby into artistic expression. In such a way did the self-taught Keita become the official photographer of Mali from 1962 to 1977, based almost solely on his impeccable reputation for quality and originality that developed by word of mouth. This stunning collection of 206 black-and white-portraits illustrates Keita's pride in his country and his gift for capturing the personalities of his subjects. His aim was to create the most natural settings and poses for the people in front of the lens, putting them at ease and gently nudging them into surrendering their inhibitions. Clean copy.

According to his biographers, Freud was not comfortable in making hand passes and touching the subject, which were the (limited) techniques available at the end of the 19th century. Freud studied with Charcot and Bernheim (the two schools of thought which conflicted with each other), but later gave hypnosis up in favor of his free association technique. This book begins by discussing the reasons Freud did that. It states that Freud at the end of life regretting not using hypnosis more. His followers balked at hypnosis, erroneously believing the cures were temporary since the ego was being bypassed (and their theoretical beliefs required the ego to be the agent). But this book reveals that Freud did not abandon hypnosis for the reasons commonly thought, and so it is essential reading for all students of Freud. The second part of the book goes into commentary on hypnosis in theory and practice. Small ink doodle to front fly leaf, otherwise clean.

From the plaintive tunes of woe sung by exiled kings and queens of Africa to the spirited worksongs and "shouts" of freedmen, enslaved people created expansive forms of music from the United States to the West Indies and South America. Dena J. Epstein's classic work traces the course of early black folk music in all its guises. Anchored by groundbreaking scholarship, it redefined the study of black music in the slavery era by presenting the little-known development of black folk music in the United States. Her findings include the use of drums, the banjo, and other instruments originating in Africa; a wealth of eyewitness accounts and illustrations; in-depth look at a wide range of topics; and a collection of musical examples. This edition offers an author's preface that looks back on the twenty-five years of changes in scholarship that followed the book's original publication. Clean copy.
