Title: Beikoku Ni Sumu Nihonjin No Sakebi [in Japanese characters, translated as The Protest of Japanese Americans: My Forty Year Stay in America]
Author: Fujii, Sei
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: Los Angeles: Kashu Mainichi Shinbunsha, 1940. About very good.. [2],2,16,420,[1]pp. Original pictorial wrappers. Minor soiling and light edge wear to wrappers; spine ends a bit chipped; front hinge starting from both ends. Text browned, but not brittle, with scattered foxing and dust soiling. A rare collection of writings by an important Japanese-American activist, journalist, and editor. Sei Fujii (1882-1954) was the founding editor of the Kashu Mainichi (Los Angeles Japanese-California Daily News) in L.A. Fujii emigrated to California from Japan in 1903 and obtained a law degree from the University of Southern California. Sadly, Fujii was unable to practice law in the United States because he was not an American citizen, and he was unable to earn American citizenship because he was Japanese - a cycle of injustice that took a few more decades to correct. After graduation, Fujii went back and forth to Japan, finally settling for good in Los Angeles shortly before 1930, where he founded the Kashu Mainichi in 1931. During World War II, Fujii was interned as an enemy alien in New Mexico, where he was not able to secure his release until 1946. After the war, he successfully challenged California's 1913 alien land law, which prohibited Japanese immigrants from owning real estate. In Fujii v. California, he convinced the California Supreme Court to overturn decades of legal precedents, ending forty years of prohibitions on property ownership and other racially- and ethnically-motivated restrictions. Fujii's activism and dogged determination for justice culminated in 1954, when he was finally able to call himself an American citizen; he was also finally granted his law license posthumously in 2017, sixty-three years after his death. "A collection of newspaper editorials and columns published by the Kashu Mainichi of Los Angeles. Many articles deal with the patriotic activities of Japanese immigrants after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937" - Encyclopedia of Japanese Descendants in the Americas. The present work was reprinted in 2013. OCLC records just seven institutional copies of this original 1940 edition - six in the United States and one in Japan.

Georgia Supreme Court Judge Linton Stephens (1823-1872) was close to his older brother, Alexander H. Stephens, who served as vice president of the Confederate States of America from 1861-1865 and later became the 50th Governor of the State of Georgia. Prior to joining the Confederacy, Stephens served as a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Georgia. Stephens advocated against secession throughout his political career, but after Georgia seceded and he became vice president of the Confederacy, he gave his now famous Cornerstone Speech in March 1861, in which he defended the fundamentals of slavery.

Title: José Cruz Mexican Comic "El Valiente" Archive, 1961-65
Author: El Valiente
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1961. [Latino, Mexico, Chicano][Comics] Cruz, José G. El Valiente. Bogotá: Editorial América S.A., 1961-1965. Six issues, Nos. 13, 141, 194, 206, 207, and 208. Photographic fumetti-style comic books printed in sepia with color wrappers. Text in Spanish. Six issues of El Valiente, The title "El Valiente" translates to "The Brave One" or "The Valiant One." The character was reportedly based on the Mexican actor Mauro de Anda. the photo-comic ("historieta fotonovela") series was created by celebrated Mexican artist and publisher José G. Cruz. Cruz was a major innovator in Latin American comics, pioneering the fumetti hybrid of photography and illustration. The comic was part of a tradition of Mexican historietas that often featured melodramatic narratives and archetypes like the charro (a Mexican horseman). "El Valiente" is a Mexican hero figure of honor and bravery, fighting against injustice across Mexico. These issues, distributed across Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela, represent the transnational reach of Mexico's popular culture during the 1960s. Each story follows the rugged protagonist "El Valiente," a deeply Mexican hero through his roots in the country's popular culture, and his visual representation with his thin mustache. Included in this archive are: 6 issues titled: "La Carrera de la Muerte," "La Silla Eléctrica," "La Pandilla," "A Cambio de una Sonrisa," and "Viaje Macabro." The plots combine crime, romance, social justice, and horror, dramatizing moral struggles against corruption and fate. Each issue retains Cruz's signature noir realism, with recurring actors like Carlos Gálvez and Laura Ponce embodying archetypal figures of Mexican masculinity and virtue. El Valiente was one of the earliest comics to be photo-reproduced rather than hand-drawn, marking a key evolution in the Latin American pulp tradition. Mild toning and edgewear to covers, small chips to spines, minor ink notations on front wraps; interiors well-preserved with supple pages and legible print. Overall very good condition. A compelling and uncommon surviving group of Cruz's El Valiente, documenting the golden age of Mexican fumetti and its international diffusion across Latin America.
