Portrait of Imamu Amiri Baraka on 5th page.Original printed wrappers; toning, minimal wear. About near fine.This pamphlet is a fully developed curriculum for the Afrocentric school founded in 1967 by LeRoi Jones / Amiri Baraka in Newark, New Jersey. It is not stated that Baraka actually authored this pamphlet, though, if he did not, he certainly had much influential input. My guess would be that he was the author. The pamphlet includes background on the school''s history, philosophy and administration, as well as curriculum grids for pre-school through grade 8. Students were taught in Swahili ...

Condition: Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket
Book has only a suggestion of wear. Jacket has some small bumps and creases. This is a collection of short stories by LeRoi Jones who rather quickly changed his name to Amiri Baraka. This book is copyrighted by Grove Press in 1967, but has also the note First Evergreen Edition -- 1968. Evergreen was a division of Grove Press and I'm not sure if the Evergreen Edition is the first or if this is a special edition from the year after the original. Still a nice book and an important one. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 132 pages View more info
