43263N.p. n.d. Nashville 1957. Handbill 8-1/2" x 7" ca 22cm x 18cm. Printed from typescript one-side only on white paper. Mild evidence of use; Near Fine. Presumably self-published handbill by an anonymous "Nashville Woman" arguing for the innocence of segregationist gadfly John Kasper who served an eight month sentence for conspiracy in 1957 and suggesting that space ships full of "little green men" i.e. communists were taking over city halls police departments and state houses throughout the South bringing with them an alien ideology of racial integration. "Yes friends 'beware' for the little green men have landed and we can most assuredly point them out. All white citizens must join hands in this mighty crusade for freedom." An illustrative relic of the tiny intersection of Sputnik fever and white supremacy; undated but given the repeated references to Kasper and to "satellite news" 1957 seems a safe bet. unknown books

189643317Boston: American Citizen Co 1896. First Edition. Tabloid 22" x 16"; 8pp. On newsprint with original horizontal and vertical folds; single small perforation at centerline without loss; Very Good. This short-lived nativist news sheet was if not the official organ then at least the affiliated mouthpiece of the American Protective Association an anti-Catholic anti-immigrant membership society founded in Clinton Iowa in 1887. The group played a vocal but not particularly influential role in the Presidential elections of 1896 ginning up as much phony opposition as they could to the nomination of William McKinley whom they accused of refusing to meet with the APA's delegates and failing to repudiate the Catholic vote. The allegations were generally false but no matter; this was fake news before fake news was cool and the group established a playbook that has been adhered to by the nativist Right ever since. The APA's viewpoint on the elections is strongly represented in the pages of the current issue with numerous articles denouncing the Vatican McKinley and the imputed ties between the two. Front page features a derogatory racist cartoon lampooning the political aspirations of Democrat William E. Russell of Massachusetts who had announced his candidacy a week earlier and who died suddenly and unexpectedly a few months later. A nicely preserved and highly representative single issue of a scarce newspaper. Narrowly represented in institutional collections and not generally seen in commerce. American Citizen Co unknown books

Old folds smoothed out with some light wear and toning; Very Good. A tabloid intended to warn citizens about the seditious intentions of the board and faculty of the Highlander Folk School founded by Don West and Myles Horton in 1953 as a training facility for southern civil rights workers. This poster-sized brochure is printed and illustrated on both sides with the recto opening to a large photomontage of supposed "communist training activities" at the school during Labor Day weekend 1957. These include an address by Martin Luther King; visits by Rosa Parks and Rev. Ralph Abernathy; a performance by Pete Seeger; and a large central image of an African-American man hugging and kissing an older white woman on the lips - clearly intended to arouse outrage among segregation-minded citizens in Tennessee and North Georgia. Verso lists the communist affiliations of the school's faculty and board and urges citizens to ".learn more of Communist infiltration and the direction of Communist movements. Only through information and knowledge can we combat this alien menace to Constitutional government." Signed in print by segregationist Georgia Governor Marvin Griffin.

A scarce Italian photobook given over to glorifying fascist youth and their glorious leader Mussolini.

Folio bound in publisher's decorated light grey cloth stamped in black and silver preserved in a new cloth folding box. Milano: Esperia 1938. Possibly the most stunning of the many works of propaganda published to extol Fascism and Mussolini during his rule. In this work the Italian fascist photobook reaches its apogee. The book exhibits a masterful use of typography and photography which truly combine to create a monumental work. As with almost all the other books in the genre there is an unfortunate overabundance of images of Il Duce. OCLC lists only the copy in the Tate. Cloth a bit soiled and insignificant damage to two leaves otherwise a very good copy of a rare book. hardcover books
