Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: Garvey and Garveyism
Author: Garvey, Amy Jacques
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Kingston, Jamaica: [United Printers Ltd.], 1963. First edition. Near Fine/Very Good. A Near Fine copy in Very Good dust jacket. Publisher's brown cloth boards titled in silver. Spine a bit cocked, and some slight bumping to corners. Small contemporary ink ownership signature to top of title-page. Dust jacket with some wear to head and tail of spine and to corners, toning to spine, and some scuffing to back panel. A very appealing copy of an important record of the Black nationalist movement by a prominent intellectual and feminist. In Garvey and Garveyism, Amy Jacques Garvey (1895 - 1973) records the life and philosophy of her late husband, Marcus Garvey (1887 - 1940), a Pan-African and Black nationalist activist best remembered as the founder and first President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). Jacques Garvey was a dedicated compiler of her husband's work, serving for years as his secretary, and the survival of Garvey's biography, writings, and activist philosophies are due in large part to her efforts to record his work. She had previously compiled and published the two-volume The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey in 1923 and 1925, but, by the 1960s, Garvey's influence had waned in Jamaica and she couldn't find a publisher for Garvey and Garveyism; instead, Jacques Garvey undertook the effort to publish the work herself, further demonstrating her commitment to both preserving Garvey's ideas and recording the history of the Black nationalist movement. Though Jacques Garvey's legacy has often been overshadowed by that of her husband, she was, in her own right, "an independent Pan African intellectual of stellar proportions" (Taylor). Jacques Garvey began her activist career with UNIA in Harlem in 1919 and would eventually become the organization's de facto leader, though she first served as the secretary to Garvey and contributed her writing to the UNIA's newspaper the Negro World. "As a political journalist, Jacques Garvey unfailingly wrote about the shortcomings of Jim Crow America, while simultaneously presenting the UNIA as a viable alternative, creating a refined discourse of race in the United States. Her editorials on the woman's page of...the Negro World destabilized masculinist discourse, offering a glimpse into the range and scope of feminism possible during the 1920s and a model of women as political beings who could change the world. In fact, Jacques Garvey's writings were a key component of early Black feminism" (Taylor). Taylor, The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey, pp. 1-5. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket.

Title: The Murder. Mossetse, The African Orphan Boy. A Little Sermon for a Little Child
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Philadelphia: American Sunday School Union, 1879. Quarter Morocco. Marbled paper pastedown on boards. Good. The title alone seems startling when one considers these were intended to be moralist tales for children of impressionable age. N.d., mid-19th Century. Our copy has a Christmas gift inscription dated 1879, so we use that as the date, but the copy might well have been published well before that. Miniature, 11 by 7 cm. 16, 16, 16 pp. Title pages for Mossetse and Little Sermon -- for The Murder, the first story, the spine title sufficed -- this conforms to the OCLC listing of a copy with the three stories bound together. Each story with a woodcut illustration at its start. The Murder has an ornamental woodcut at its conclusion, with the two others have an illustration relating to their narrative there. The binding has considerable wear but is tight, and the interior has some grittiness but is completely legible. (The large brown stain on all the leaves looks worse in the photos than we think it is in reality.).

Seller: THE FINE BOOKS COMPANY

Title: FAIRYLAND
Author: Anonymous ( Godwin, Frank )
Seller: THE FINE BOOKS COMPANY (United States)
Description: FAIRYLAND, M. A. Donohue & Co., N. d. (ca.1910), first edition, fine in stiff full color pictorial linen wraps save for a thin sliver of the very fore edge of the rear cover where the coloring was not properly formatted and left as off-white instead of beige. Tells the tales of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, THE THREE BEARS, JACK THE GIANT KILLER & JACK AND THE BEAN STALK. Contains four full color illustrations along with several black & white, all uncredited. However, the front cover (which is sectionally repeated on the rear cover) is spectacularly executed by Frank Godwin and for this reason alone, may well be worth the price. Quite scarce.
