Roxbury, Massachusetts: Scoham Publishing Co., 1964.
Price: $275.00
Softcover. First edition. Octavo. [21]pp. Mimeographed in stapled illustrated paper wrappers. Inked price at base of front cover; slight toning to extremities, near fine. A defense of Black-White intermarriage, by an African-American author. Crudely written, but including at least one nugget of inarguable wisdom: "The whiteman in America is the most backward person in the world, with the exception of South Africa, when it comes to dealing with nonwhite people as human beings." A very early production of this tiny Boston Afro-centric publishing company (later called "The Scoham Bookshelf"). Author Ernest Hamilton is identified on the rear wrapper, along with Seaborn Scott, as one of the proprietors of the press. *OCLC* locates only five copies.
