First edition of Hughes' concise history of Africa. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated with photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For the Richardsons ~ Sincerely ~ Langston New York, July 24, 1960." Very good in a very good dust jacket.
Here, Langston Hughes tells the exciting story of Africa, land of wealth and promise: its ancient and native kingdoms; the explorers and missionaries who opened up its vast stretches of jungle and veldt; the empire-builders; the primitive tribesmen; the governments today and how they are working in various ways for independence.
