Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Vivid, lyrical, harshly real and at times quite moving, Tropic Death presents a collection of short sketches from the Caribbean and Central America. The book was first published in 1926, at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, to high acclaim. The stories chart the days of men working stone quarries or building the Panama Canal, of women tending gardens and rearing needy children. Early on addressing issues of skin color and class, Walrond imbued his stories with a remarkable compassion for lives controlled by the whims of nature and oppressed by the effects of colonialism.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eric Walrond is one of the great underexamined figures of the Harlem Renaissance and the Caribbean diaspora. Very little of his later work has been subsequently published or made readily available to American scholars. His writings, set in the Caribbean, the United States, and Europe, discuss imperialism, racism, the role of the black writer, black identity, and immigration-all topics of vital concern today. Born in British Guiana (now Guyana), Walrond moved to New York City in 1918 where he worked briefly for Marcus Garvey and became a protégé of Charles S. Johnson. During that time, he wrote short fiction as well as nonfiction and gained a measure of fame for his 1926 collection, Tropic Death.In Search of Asylumcompiles Walrond's European journalism and later fiction, as well as the pieces he wrote during the 1950s at Roundway Hospital in Wiltshire, England, where he was a voluntary patient. Louis Parascandola and Carl Wade have assembled a collection that at last fills in the biographical gaps in Walrond's life, providing insights into the contours of his later work and the cultural climates in which he functioned between 1928 and his death in 1966.

Zustand: GOOD. 2nd printing (just one month after the first) Ten powerful short stories of Afro-Caribbean life, set in the West Indies, Panama, and the Central American isthmus. An uncommon book (in any original edition) by this Harlem Renaissance writer who was born in Guyana. Although DuBois praised this book for its significance - "Here is a book of ten stories of death, which, with impressionistic pen and little plot, show forth with singular vividness the life of black laborers of the West Indies. There is superstition, unusual dialect, singular economic glimpses; but above all, there is truth and human sympathy" he also called it "hard reading." 282 pp. Fair condition only in dark brown cloth with gold lettering, black and gold illustrated endpapers (front hinge starting, several leaves were carelessly cut open, scattered foxing mostly in margins and some rubbing and shelfwear to the boards - but still a very readable copy of an important book .).

Tropic Death features "stories and sketches of poor blacks in the West Indies and Panama, reflecting the speech, rhythm, and myths that exist among a people faced with starvation, drought, and racial problems" (Perry, Margaret. The Harlem Renaissance: An Annotated Bibliography and Commentary, 504). After emmigrating to the United States, Walrond became a noted author, editor, and Harlem Renaissance figure, becoming deeply involved with the UNIA and the National Urban League.

Ownership signature of Benjamin Brawley to the front free end paper. Shelved in Case 2. Eric D. Walrond as an Afro-Caribbean writer associated with the Harlem Renaissance. He arrived in New York (after having lived in British New Guiana and Panama) in 1918, and soon began contributing to many of the prominent literary publications of the time: The Smart Set, The New Republic and Vanity Fair and Negro World. He was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship for Fiction in both 1928 and 1929, and his work was widely praised. "Shortly after Tropic Death's publication in 1926, critic Benjamin Brawley referred to it as "the most important contribution made by a Negro to American letters since the appearance of [Paul Laurence] Dunbar's Lyrics of Lowly Life" ("Renaissance" 234)." [Imani D. Owens, MELUS, Volume 41, Issue 4, December 2016]. Benjamin Brawley was an American author and educator whose books include The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States (1918) and New Survey of English Literature (1925). He served as the first dean of Morehouse College from 1912 to 1920, taught at Shaw University, and was the chair of the English department at Howard University. 1363782. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
