HAMILTON, Ernest

Miscegenation in the U.S.A.

Roxbury, MA: Scoham Publishing Co., 1964. First Edition. Octavo (21cm). Staple-bound illustrated paper wrappers; [21pp]. Price label (presumably from publisher) at base of front cover; slight toning to extremities; Very Good. Printed by mimeograph.

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.

Price: $60.00
