Softcover. First edition. Octavo. All gatherings unopened. Printed wrappers. Laid in is a publisher's printed bookmark of acronyms. Toning to text pages, else fine. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "A Mr. Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., En hommage a la conference Africa Training for Leadership...&c.," with a paper band around the book addressed by N'Diaye to Houghton. N'Diaye was a leading African sociologist and critic of French imperialism. In 1961, Houghton, the great-grandson of the founder of Corning Glass Works, President of Steuben Glass, and one of America's great philanthropists, arranged Corning's sponsorship of the week-long conference "Africa: Training for Leadership." A nice association.
