About This Item
London: Geoffrey Bles, 1962. First edition, as stated. Hardcover. Very Good/I. George Adamson. 106 p.; small HC in unclipped DJ; VG/VG condition, minor rubbing along edges. Satire on racial relations. Author published under a pseudonym. From jacket notes: "Jan Domm was as upright and noble a specimen of White Man as you could hope to meet. He believed . . . that the Government, all-wise and all-benevolent, could make no mistakes. So when he was re-classified as Coloured, Jan Domm enthusiastically accepted the change in his status and bore its consequences with humility, pride and praise for the wonders of racial discrimination. True, he lost his wife, his children, money, house, job and sundry physical faculties. But to what a Cause!" Illustrations by George Adamson of Punch.
