A group of people dancing are at the top leading a sugar cane bundle cart being pulled by a horse. Also featured are the films title and original French title "Rue Cases Negres".

It was written and directed by Euzhan Palcy a French-Martinican woman whose films are known to explore themes of race gender and politics with an emphasis on the perpetuated effects of colonialism. She is the first black director to win a César Award and the Venice Film Festival's Silver Lion both for Sugar Cane Alley. Rolled and in very good condition. unknown

Considered one of the greatest boxers of all time Sugar Ray Robinson held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951 and by 1958 he had become the first boxer to win a divisional world championship five times. In a career that spanned 25 years Robinson amassed 175 wins 110 knockouts and just 19 losses. Robinson's ability to cross weight classes caused boxing fans and writers to dub him "pound for pound the best" a sentiment that has not faded over the years. Muhammad Ali liked to call Robinson "the king the master my idol." Robinson inspired Ali's famous matador style which he used to defeat Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title in 1964. In 1984 The Ring magazine placed Robinson No. 1 in its book "The 100 Greatest Boxers of All Time." Robinson finally retired from the sport for good in 1965. Two years later he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The first edition is now very rare in hardcover.</p> Viking hardcover

Original printed softcovers minor chipping head & foot of spine slight chipping couple lower corners dustsoiling still a VG bright copy. First edition of one of the earliest American studies on Chinese Sugarcane Sorghum and the possibilities that this was the sorghum plant that American farmers hoped would grow in the Northern United States and definitive work on growing harvesting and distilling sorghum. A variety of “Chinese Sugarcane†was imported by Father Du Halde from Sichuan China in 1851 where it was quickly adopted also under the name of “Northern Chinese or Shanghai Sugarcane†as a crop to provide sugars for alcoholic products filling the void left by the grape crop failure in the 1850s. Chinese Sugarcane seeds were first brought into United States by Jay Browne Esq. in 1854 and a few intrepid American nurseries began planting and determining if it could be planted and harvested profitably in the North. Hyde writes that in his test crop he was able to secure a dark sugar from the cane molasses and notes that it will be of tremendous value in producing alcohol and confectionaries and that the Sorghum remnants could be fed to livestock. Hyde 1825-1898 worked with his father James Hyde in developing the very successful nursery emphasizing fruit trees ornamental trees and cash crops. He was a pioneering environmentalist who founded the first improvement society in the United States the Newton Centre Tree Club whose purpose was to emphasize beautifying the roads and commons in Massachusetts. He was Newton MA first mayor after the city was incorporated in 1873 and was also successful in persuading the Boston & Albany RR to acquire the existing single-track line of the Charles River Railroad to aid his nursery business.
