NY, McDowell Obolensky, (1959). The first American edition of the Nigerian author's first book, concerning the impact of the coming of the white man on village tribal life. Signed by the author. An enormously powerful book, which helped lay the groundwork for future post-colonial African literature and all ethnic literature that eschewed a eurocentric world view. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with modest rubbing and spine fading. A nice copy of a landmark of 20th century world literature. [#029903] SOLD
