Description
Shelton, Connecticut: The First Edition Library, 1990. Reissue. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8x5x1. Includes publisher's slipcase and insert. Jacket slightly wrinkled from previous owner applying mylar cover too tightly (now removed), minor blemishes to slipcase. 1990 Hard Cover. xi, 359 pp. Introduction by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Richard Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America.

Providence, Rhode Island: Brown University / Bulletin of the Essex Institute, 1937. Stapled Binding. Near Fine. 0x0x0. Sticker ghost on rear wrapper. 1937 Stapled Binding. 41; 77-86 pp. Stapled bindings. The fourteenth installment in the Brown University Papers, providing a lecture about Roger Williams and his influence on the history of Rhode Island, in celebration of the state's tercentenary (1636-1936). Laid in is an 1896 pamphlet published by the Essex Institute, its contents being a paper read before the local history class, attempting to explain Williams's religious views in the context of colonial history. Roger Williams was a religious activist who campaigned for religious freedom, and founded the first Baptist church in America. He believed strongly in the separation of church and state, and also founded the Providence Plantation, which provided a safe haven for victims of religious persecution. He is often credited as America's first abolitionist as well, in that he was the first colonist to organize an attempt to prohibit the practice of slavery. His strong beliefs often put him at odds with other believers: he was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony after speaking against the methods of government numerous times, and he and John Cotton engaged in a lengthy debate in print over various religious issues.
