About This Item
(London: Robert Hale, 1938). Medium 8vo; original cerise cloth; tinted top edge; no dustwrapper; pp. 320; plates; two maps. Spine very lightly sunned; boards a little rubbed and stippled. A very clean, bright copy. "The European Powers which have partitioned Africa stand on the same level in my eyes. Abusing their strength and knowledge, they have taken away from the African ... the only homeland he has, and are taking away from him his language, his religion and tradition - his very identity as a lovable and worthy member of the human race. ... Black and Beautiful is an autobiography covering the years 1901-1909, 1917-1920, and 1932-1935 in what is now Tanganyika Territory and was formerly German East Africa. Nothing is set down in it which did not actually happen." .
