About This Item
NY: Carlton Press, 1961. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Scarce work of Black pedagogy, originally written as Caldwell's master's thesis at Columbia University, in which she argues that the prevailing modes of education fail to meet the needs of Black students. Instead, while acknowledging the distastefulness of the position, she contends that segregated schools remain the best hope for Black self-advancement, and the "best means to the end of segregation and the achievement of group solidarity and world brotherhood." First edition. Octavo, 8.25 x 5.5 in. 51pp., with bibliography. Black cloth boards, silver spine titles; in dust jacket. Off-setting to endpapers where it appears a piece of newsprint was once laid in. Unclipped ("$2.00") jacket moderately toned, with a shallow band of loss at crown of spine, and several closed edge tears. A near fine copy in an about very good jacket.
