Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket. First Edition; First Printing. Light tone, light wear. Solid hardcover.; English translation of massive anthology of African literature. "The present volume is a work of compilation. For this reason I consider it a duty to indicate exactly in the bibliography the date and place of publication of the works upon which I have drawn. I have given these tales just as the missionaries and explorers brought them to Europe, and just as they are published. They are not always the most original versions nor the most faithful translation. It is much to be regretted that literary exactitude was not the only legitimate preoccupation of these distant travellers." - Foreword by the author. ; 378 pages.

First Edition. Eight original octavo issues, comprising the first two years of publication, bound together in plain cloth with gilt spine title; original card wrappers bound in. Each issue 64pp; illus. A clean, tightly-bound volume, with the individual issues clean and unmarked; about Fine. Well-preserved run of this important West Coast literary journal, which collected the work of many writers on the left at a time when they were under fire from the House Un-American Activities Committee. Of singular importance is the first published appearance, in the Summer, 1953 issue, of Michael Wilson's screenplay for the suppressed classic Salt of the Earth, one of the truly great works in the pantheon of labor filmmaking and one of very few works of the period to portray Mexican-American workers in a positive light. The movie was produced in 1954, directed by Herbert Biberman, but effectively disappeared after all but a dozen theaters nationwide refused to screen it. The screenplay, published here, includes numerous still images from the as-yet unreleased film, with additional brief essays by Biberman, Paul Jarrico (the producer), and Rosaura Revueltas, who starred as "Esperanza." Other contributors to these eight issues include a host of mid-century radical and experimental writers, including Edwin Rolfe, Aimé Césaire, Thomas McGrath, B. Traven, Pablo Neruda, Eve Merriam, John Oliver Killens (a very early appearance, in the Spring 1952 issue), Philip Bonosky, Nelson Algren, and many others. For the first few issues Lawrence Spingarn was listed as Editor in Chief, but by Spring, 1951 Sanora Babb had taken over most editorial duties.
