19472097Paris Gallimard, 1947 Traduit de l'américain par Marcel Duhamel en collaboration avec Andrée R. Picard. 224 pp. In-8 en pleine percaline noire, dos plat pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, relié avec sa couverture d'origine. Black boy raconte un épisode d'une histoire souvent vécue par les Noirs d'Amérique. "Les circonstances historiques ont fait de nous, les Noirs d'Amériques du Nord, un peuple de nomades, perpétuellement en mouvement, quittant sans cesse un lieu pour cherche la liberté ailleurs." Richard Wright, issu d'une famille blanche, noire et indienne, est à l'intersection contre la "doctrine de la Suprématie Blanche". Insaisissable et instable, il poursuit sans limite ses aspirations, en "courant après la liberté", pour la condition humaine, la condition de son époque pour les siens et pour les autres. Avant ce livre, son premier roman Native Son livre fut un succès, dynamitant les préjugés racistes. Orson Welles en fit une adaptation pour le théâtre en 1941.

The text is prefaced with a broad historical background of the C.C.F. movement outlining its origins structure purposes political activities and its social political and chiefly its economic goals. Sections II-IV offer detailed guidance on the rudimentary principles and components of political organization including the necessary requirements for the establishment of C.C.F.-affiliated youth branches in a given region; suggested membership structure; election composition and functions of the executive leadership board members secretaries etc.; formation and function of the various committees comprising each branch educational publicity social finance cultural industrial political et al.; how-to's of conducting and recording meetings; suggested public outreach methods and cultural activities; financial record-keeping etc. While the authors explicitly reference the Ontario section of the C.C.Y.M. it is very likely that the handbook was compiled to be replicated and to serve as a guide for use nationally.

Compiled and published during the infancy of the movement following a meeting of a "representative group of young members of the C.C.F. from Quebec Ontario and each of the four Western provinces" as held in Winnipeg in 1934 a mere two years following the founding of the party in 1932 and only one year following the adoption of the Regina Manifesto which explicitly called for "a planned and socialized economy". The meeting would coincide with the third national convention of the C.C.F. during which the membership resolved to formalize the establishment of a youth wing with the stated objective of interesting "young farmers workers and students in socialism" in order to "to unite them into a strong enlightened organization to work for the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of the Co-operation Commonwealth". The party would subsequently make history by forming the first social-democratic government in North America when it was elected to form the provincial government in Saskatchewan in 1944.

1816271<p>New York: J. Seymour American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions Agents Appointed to Establish a School for Heathen Youth 1816. first edition. modern 1/4 niger morocco. Good. Inspiration for the First Mission to Hawaii. <br /><br />Rare in commerce most copies have been acquired by American institutions. Few copies have come to documented auction in the past 100 years. Of those made available about half are decommissioned library copies including a copy that sold for over $15000 at a 2006 Sotheby's auction.<br /><br />Condition: Very Good<br /><br />IMPORTANCE & BACKGROUND<br /><br />A biographical account of the lives of five Hawaiian youths who would come to form a core of initial students enrolled at the new Foreign Mission School established at Cornwall Connecticut in 1816. The vivid accounts of Captain Cook's and others explorers' voyages to the Sandwich Islands Hawaii and other Pacific islands generated interest in the U.S. to properly educative Hawaiians in both academic and Christian teachings. The school formed under the direction of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM would serve to educate foreign students in preparation for missionary work in their native lands and elsewhere. <br /><br />A Narrative of Five Youth from the Sandwich Islands was the first of many publications intended to raise funds and stir up popular support for the new school as well as for the first Christian mission sent to the Hawaiian Islands three years later. The publications were a great success leading to the significant funding and public support critical to early efforts to fold Hawaii within the cultural and commercial influence of the United States.<br /><br />BOOK INFO<br /><br />Published in 1816 in New York by J. Seymour under the direction of ".agents appointed to establish a school for heathen youth" e.g. American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. First edition first printing.

Collated and complete: 3 4-44 p. <br /><br />ABOUT THE WORK & HISTORICAL CONTEXT<br /><br />By the early 1800s Hawaii had become a key aspect of America's growing trade with China. It was a critical resupply port for American ships on the trade route to China and a lucrative source for sandalwood. American merchants saw commercial possibilities that could be expanded. Protestant missionaries saw heathens in need of salvation via Christian conversion.<br /><br />This is a biographical account of and strong bit of fundraising propaganda on how five Hawaiian youths were saved from their heathen ways and savage pasts through a civilized education and Christian conversion. While the backgrounds of the youth vary - one was the son of a chief and another the survivor of brutal inter-tribal warfare for example-- the stories of these five youths share a number of common elements. All had spent time as sailors on American trade ships. Three had served at sea in the War of 1812. Most had experienced periods of extreme hardship after reaching New England. All found sponsors teachers and spiritual guides who helped them on their path to converting to Protestantism.<br /><br />CONDITION INFO<br /><br />The book is Good to Very Good by early 19th century American imprint standards.<br /><br />Binding is tight. Leather is supple. Areas of dust and light soiling to cloth. Lightly toned pages overall with light foxing. Some abrasion to paper along gutter margins of first few pages. Browning to first and last page with some brittleness and chipping. The paper used by the printer was quite thin so the text block background is darkened a bit by opposing page text on the same leaf as in all copies. No writing ex libris marks or library markings. Slight loosening at the head of the first few leaves where binding cords are exposed. A few smudges marginal paper nicks and other signs of light handling.<br /><br />.</p> J.

1st edition. Period full leather with spine label, 8vo, viii, 9-408 pages. Singerman 322; Rosenbach 209. The tipped in recommendation slip sign "Ph. Milledolar, " as noted by BAL, is present. President John Adams wrote of this literary anthology that it was "worthy to be presented by every father to every child, and deserve a place in every family. " Gomez's Jewish affiliation resonates in the book with his decision to include a selection from The History of Pope Pius V, which is the source for the "pound of flesh" incident in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. As opposed to Shakespeare's telling, in the History of Pope Pius V, it is the Jew who is the victim and the Christian who threatens him. Gomez prefaced the selection by writing: "The following subject shows that Shakespeare altered the character of Shylock, making him to be of the Jewish nation, when in reality he was not. " As Louis Harap notes (The Image of the Jew in American Literature, p. 260) , "Gomez was obviously trying to combat the effects of the Shylock stereotype. " Isaac Gomez (1768-1831) , whose great-grandfather had fled from Portugal to New York in 1703, was active in New York's Jewish community. The few early literary contributions by American Jews "was anything but impressive, but Gomez's book is worth remembering as one of American Jewry's earliest literary efforts⦠Gomez, both a devotee of the humanities and a committed Jew, lived comfortably ensconced in the two worlds of the Jew and the cultured American" (J. R. Marcus, United States Jewry, vol. 3, page 455) . See also Blau and Baron, The Jews of the United States, 1790-1840, Vol. II, pages 440-2. The last copy to appear at auction in the US, in 2013, sold for over $1800 (with commissions) . Foxing as expected. All endpapers present, and original period binding remains very handsome. A very good copy in outstanding period binding. (AMR-57-12)

1940List2749California 1940. Approximately 248 total pages: 149 8.5 x 11 inches and smaller three typed and ninety-nine 5 x 8 inches and smaller. Most undated; those with dates ranging from 1944 to 1958. Ninety-two pages from Nancy Gotthart and eighty-six pages from Helen Gotthart; the remaining from various friends either unsigned or with first name only. Many letters missing pages. Generally fine. David Lawrence was part of a cohort of young dancers in Southern California; he modeled and may have danced in the SoCal Ballet. His correspondents here include Nancy Gotthart an aspiring artist and writer whom Lawrence met in a dance class; Helen Gotthart Nancy’s mother; Leisa a fellow aspiring dancer; Wendy a dancer with the Players Guild; and others.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a large lot of letters mainly to Lawrence from friends with those dated spanning from the mid-1940s to the late 1950s. His friends who are mostly women seem to be in their late teens to early twenties and are struggling to adjust to young adult life in the postwar era. Fellow dancer Leisa writes perceptively that:<br /> <br /> “I know it is rough all over but in a couple of years the whole world is going to see a change and there will be a chance for the creative person to do something that he feels he is supposed to do. I know how much I want to dance and also how much you want to dance but to be realistic and not emotional under the conditions of the world today we would never be able to get what we want.†No Date<br /> <br /> In the meantime the friends are open about the emotional effects of this transitional time. Nancy Gotthart tells Lawrence that:<br /> <br /> “I am in my little cave. It is a mess – broken glass a couple of oil paintings torn and strewn about my radio smashed in a sick heap by the bookcase while various parts are scattered from one end of the apartment to the other. An empty scotch bottle reigns over the general chaos. . It was after I tore up the paintings I had scratched my wrist and it was bleeding slightly – you know how it is with an animal when it scents blood: it wants more: and so did I.†October 28 1958<br /> <br /> Leisa and their mutual friends are troubled as well. She writes:<br /> <br /> “Dick was put in an institution because he told someone he saw God and for 8 months he was given nothing but shock treatments. Please don’t say anything to anyone And I was put in a home for girls because I hated People and told everyone God was going to destroy them. So you see what happens to people when you arn’t given understanding.†No Date<br /> <br /> Lawrence expresses a similar sentiment in an unsent response to a letter from his friend Wendy. Wendy is “working with the Players Guild a group of dancers headed by Raoul Pausé and Marce Wild†and is starting “rehearsals for a jazy sic ballet in which Ron Pointdexter has done the choreography†April 30 1958. At that time Lawrence was taking classes and modeling in Hollywood. In his letter to Wendy after several missing pages he concludes:<br /> <br /> “. or anything just alone – an empty feeling of some urge of destruction – A smash-up – any one anything – the sudden desire to destroy with no attempt of physical violence – this conflicting urge swells with in me like a massive wave – bound for destruction – building higher and higher – nothing can prevent it – like a tital sic wave it reaches its climax – then down it smashes – nothing gained – nothing lost – just a desire of self pity with no conclusion –†November 13 1958<br /> <br /> In a draft of a letter also in the archive from a Lorraine to Tom—perhaps Lorraine was a friend that Lawrence was helping to write this letter—these feelings are located squarely in the context of malaise surrounding World War II:<br /> <br /> “As for my job that is of no consequence. I have given notice and this Saturday will be my last day at Gilfillan. . When I took the job I went with innocent believing eyes thinking I was doing what I should for the war effort. I only find myself now a human parasite wasting ½ my time doing nothing – and the most important thing expected of me is to look busy when the “big shots†go through the plant. Such waste of precious time – how I feel with you the impossible hand of army routine life crushing out all possibility of creativeness! And if one doesn’t rebel inwardly for actively it is impossible to do in your position he falls into the rut which too many people eventually accept as part of them.†August 25 1944<br /> <br /> Fortunately Lawrence has a supportive adult in his life: Nancy’s mother Helen Gotthart with whom Lawrence has a lengthy correspondence and an ambiguously tender relationship. Helen—who is a real estate agent and aspiring writer—encourages Lawrence to stick with dancing:<br /> <br /> “I want to insist again that you must take at least one or two classes a week or get into your dance clothes and give yourself a barre at the kitchen sink . but don’t allow yourself to get stiff whatever you do. And look like crazy for another job where you can get classes and maybe attend rehearsals again . If you let things drift as they are without trying to do better in any and every way possible then you will be as bad as R. only in a different way.†September 13 1957<br /> <br /> She assures him that “if we both do our best and work as hard as we can perhaps we will both come out on top†and promises to “do all I can to help you or possibly I should say ‘to help you help yourself’ because dance is a thing you must do for yourself†November 10 NY.<br /> <br /> Also of interest in the archive is Nancy’s appraisal of the contemporary treatment of gay men which they discuss several times. Nancy writes:<br /> <br /> “Oh yes you made reference to some ‘raids’. Were you referring to the round-up of homosexuals There has been a great-to-do about it in the papers. Several private citizens and you remember Ermine Duccini Well he was picked up. And on account of public opinions mothers primarily he is going to be dropped from page missing… turn their efforts to rounding-up dope-pushers and the like. The strange ideas & hates of the great unwashed are incomprehensible to me. I guess they feel the murders committed by the sale of heroin are less terrible. Not so with me; I believe in live and let live.†May 8 1958<br /> <br /> At another point she remarks:<br /> <br /> “As far as I am concerned what should be done with such people i.e. gay men is let them alone. They are as much human beings perhaps more as anyone else. After all one isn’t condemned because he prefers green to blue why would one be condemned for preferring someone of one’s own sex And the thing that really gets me about all this business is that a married man can philander and make every woman he feels inclined to while two men or two women who really love each other and don’t go on the make have no rights according to our brave government. This makes me want to vomit.†No Date<br /> <br /> The friends’ unconventional attitudes towards sexuality seem to apply to their own lives as well. Included in the archive is a very graphic break-up letter from an unknown woman to Lawrence; the fourteen-page letter is surprisingly sexually explicit contravening stereotypes of the time:<br /> <br /> “I have more tenderness warmth passion and understanding in my little finger than most women in their whole person. Where do you think – from what well do I draw what you feel when you think I’m being submissive The well is bottomless never been drained though drank from copiously. Right now David I can come up with nine guys count them nine of which only two have slept with me that would come right out and say they love me! And that’s only on this coast! . You hurt my feelings tremendously by saying that as opposed to other women you ‘don't’ like me when I’m not submissive’ ! A When am I not submissive Any touch from you renders me so any indication of your desire .†No Date<br /> <br /> Overall an uncommon survival providing an intimate look at the inner lives of American youths coming of age after the Second World War and before the next decade’s counterculture would allow them the creative freedom they desired. unknown

New condition very thick and fantastick artbook on sound art collections related to the group Sonic Youth. he iconic postpunk band Sonic Youth is famed for blurring musical genres veering from thundering rock to dismantled experimentalism and expanding the possibilities of the electric guitar. "What we're doing is always inventing itself. I have no terminology for it" guitarist Thurston Moore observes. Moore and his bandmates Kim Gordon Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley have also over the course of 27 years since they first started playing together more quietly engaged in multidisciplinary solo efforts and collaborations with visual artists filmmakers designers and other musicians. Numerous artists from Richard Prince and Raymond Pettibon to Gerhard Richter have contributed artwork for Sonic Youth album covers and Moore Ranaldo and Gordon in particular have collaborated with visual artists; but the group has also produced a large amount of great ephemera over the decades. This comprehensive 784-page volume--which includes two 7-inch records with unpublished songs by each member album covers band portraits and documentary photos many of which have never been published before--is a must for fans and anyone wanting to connect the dots between New York's various scenes.
