New York: Harper & Row, 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. This trenchant, interesting, and well written volume delineates the development of intellectual racism and its application 'to the problem posed in the white mind by the presence of millions of blacks in the United States.' It is also a study of the dialectic between chronic racist thinking and milder formulations" (The Journal of Negro History, Volume 58, Number 2). Octavo: xiii, [3], 343 pp. Original brown cloth binding, with white- and black-stamped titles. The ink stamp of Robert F. Abbey, Jr., appears on the half-title, with some sparse pencil marginalia to the text. The dust jacket is price-clipped and a trifle rubbed; otherwise very good. (Inventory #: 78595)
