Hardcover. Octavo (22cm) 340pp. Gray cloth covered boards titled in red on the cover and spine. Light wear to the boards. About NEAR FINE. 

Study on the fateful growth of slavery in America, beginning with the Dutch in New Amsterdam. The value of the book lies in its adherence to testimony that is authentic history, and the logic of the argument -- that the idea of ""Negro" is a frame of mind. 

Roi Ottley was an American journalist and writer. Although largely forgotten today, he was among the most famous African American war correspondents in the United States during the mid-20th century.
