Ainsi Parla L'Oncle: Essais D'Ethnographie
(Haiti): Imprimerie De Compiegne, 1928.
Sold
Softcover. First edition. Large octavo. Printed wrappers. Text in French. A little soiling and light wear, a very good copy. Errata slip laid in. Inscribed by the author: "Porteau Prince August 12, 1928. De Dr. Prichard(?) a Monsieur Hendrix deLeeux de New York. Avec Dr. Price-Mars' complemet." Price-Mars is generally considered to have been Haiti's foremost thinker of the 20th Century. This is perhaps his most influential work, an indictment of the Haitian elite for their Francophile inclinations, and a defense of the African roots of Haiti as they were expressed in that country's indigenous culture.
