19580451New York, John Day Company, 1958. First edition. An octavo volume of 217 x 142 mm for 188 pp. Bound in full black publisher's cloth with dust jacket with flaps. Blank covers, author's name, title and publisher written vertically on the spine on a pink background. Dust jacket with a drawing of African-Americans playing drums, black and red on a yellow background. Autograph dedication from Langston Hughes on the first white guard: "For Paula-Lima, with a hearty welcome to our U.S.A. Sincerely, Langston Hughes, New York, July 26, 1960" in turquoise blue pen. The table of contents, at the beginning of the book, was also annotated by Hughes with the same pen p. 11. A major figure in the African-American cultural movement known as the Harlem Renaissance, the poet and novelist Langston Hughes (1901-1967) wrote works depicting the lives of black proletarians shared between joys, disillusions, hope, etc. all tinged with jazz and blues. "Through his work, he sought to show the importance of a "black consciousness" and a cultural nationalism that unites men rather than sets them against each other. This pride was subsequently taken up by many men of letters such as Jacques Roumain, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor and Aimé Césaire."

Figure majeure du mouvement culturel afro-américain dit de la Renaissance de Harlem, le poète et romancier Langston Hughes (1901-1967) écrivit des œuvres dépeignant la vie des prolétaires noirs partagée entre joies, désillusions, espoir, etc. le tout teinté de jazz et de blues. "Par son travail, il a cherché à montrer l'importance d'une « conscience noire » et d'un nationalisme culturel qui unit les hommes plutôt que les oppose. Cette fierté a par la suite été reprise par de nombreux hommes de lettres comme Jacques Roumain, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor ou encore Aimé Césaire." (Wikipédia)

"The 1938 publication of George Haynes’ two-volume The Senate of the United States: Its History and Practice instantly made Haynes the nation’s leading academic authority on that institution. Reviewers routinely ranked Haynes’ work with Charles Warren’s monumental three-volume The Supreme Court in United States History, published 15 years earlier. While others had produced major studies examining individual areas of Senate activity, and while Lindsay Rogers had created an extended essay on the institution in defense of unlimited debate, Haynes was the first to attempt a comprehensive history."
