1934227004London: Printed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press 1934. First edition first printing. Publisher's green cloth spine titles stamped in black in Anthony Butts illustrated dust jacket 7s. 6d. Very mild rubbing extremities scattered scuffs to text block edges three tiny punctures to rear board near spine not affecting jacket overall fine in fine faintly toned and rubbed dust jacket with only a hint of edge wear. An extraordinarily beautiful copy of van der Post's first work. 350pp. Laurens’ debut novel In a Province confronts head on the ethical dilemmas and dangers of colonialism in South Africa. Written at a time when few white authors addressed these issues van der Post confronts the injustices of the socio-political landscape of South Africa in the early 20th century while addressing the psychological toll that both the colonizers and colonized suffered as a result. In a Province is undoubtedly solidified in the canon of anti-colonial and postcolonial literature. Its exploration of human rights and ethical responsibility gives it continued relevance in discussions of historical oppression and reconciliation.
