Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First printing. First edition of this Pulitzer Prize-winning white journalist's accounts of his travels in the summer of 1948 through the Deep South, representing himself as a Black man and reporting on the discrimination and oppression he experienced. Sprigle's project was made possible by the guidance and companionship of civil rights activist John Wesley Dobbs ? referred to only as a "friend" in the text and not publicly identified until 1973. Dobbs was introduced to the author by Walter White, then director of the NAACP. While undercover for the NAACP, White had traveled extensively in the region while passing as a white man ? a considerably riskier and braver feat, as Sprigle notes. Sprigle's book predated John Howard Griffin's similar BLACK LIKE ME by more than a decade, and unlike Griffin, Sprigle did not rely on modification of his appearance beyond a suntan. He discusses in some detail the degree to which his successful impersonation relied on the arcane and elaborately coded American system of racial classification. Sprigle's expose was primarily written for a white audience accustomed to believing white writers. Within this context, his pioneering reports (which originally appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) came as a revelation and shock to many Northerners, with a far-reaching and lingering impact. Uncommon in its first edition, especially in a jacket and in collectible condition. 8" x 5.25" Original red cloth. Black topstain. In original unclipped dust jacket ($2.50) designed by Leo Manso. Foreword by Margaret Halsey. 215 pages. Jacket spine faded, chipping to edges, with some rubbing and toning. Book lightly shelfworn at extremities, especially spine tips. Overall, clean and sound. Very good in a very good minus jacket.

Zustand: Very good plus. First printing. First separate edition of this Pulitzer Prize-winning white journalist's account of his travels through the Deep South representing himself as a Black man ? later expanded into IN THE LAND OF JIM CROW. Sprigle's project ? originally reported in the PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE, from which this edition was gathered ? was made possible by the guidance and companionship of civil rights activist John Wesley Dobbs (referred to only as a "friend" in the text and not publicly identified until 1973). Dobbs was introduced to the author by Walter White, then director of the NAACP. While undercover for the NAACP, White had traveled extensively in the region while passing as a white man ? a considerably riskier and braver feat, as Sprigle notes.

Sprigle's expose was primarily written for a white audience accustomed to believing white writers. Within this context, these pioneering reports came as a revelation and shock to many Northerners, with a far-reaching and lingering impact. Expanded the following year as IN THE LAND OF JIM CROW (Simon & Schuster, 1949), this earlier ephemeral pamphlet issued by the POST GAZETTE (and containing Hodding Carter's rebuttal, "The Other Side of Jim Crow") is decidedly more scarce.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: About Very Good. First Edition. First edition. vii, 215, [1, note about author] pp. Original scarlet cloth with black lettering, black topstain. Near Fine with light shelf wear, tiny tear in inner hinge at front, in About Very Good dust jacket with chipping along edges, closed tear in top of back panel. Rare in jacket. Over a decade before John Howard Griffin dyed his skin to chronicle Southern racism in Black Like Me, Pulitzer-winning journalist Ray Sprigle disguised himself as an African-American and exposed the evils of segregation and racism in a 21-part nationally-syndicated series of stories "I Was a Negro in the South for 30 Days," collected for the first time in this book. He did so with the backing of the NAACP. As a 2011 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette piece by Bill Steigerwald recalled Sprigle: "Though he was a lifelong friend of the underdog, Sprigle was no softhearted liberal. He was no moralist, no precocious civil rights crusader, no longtime champion of the cause of the Negro, North or South. He was a staunch conservative Republican who hated FDR and the New Deal. All he had wanted his Southern investigation to do, he said later, was to see 'that justice was done to a group that is grossly oppressed.'" Sprigle's story was also chronicled in the 2017 book by Steigerwald, 30 Days a Black Man.
