Southern Exposure

Long before national attention became focused on segregation & civil rights came this "explosive" expos of a book by a lifetime Southerner in the 1940s, who had gone underground & inside to "tell the truth about the best-lied-about region in America,'' the South. From inside the Ku Klux Klan, Sons of Dixie, & the Commoner Party, he explored how such organizations perpetuate longstanding evils in the region, & others work to subvert democracy by introducing "fascist elements." "Candid though it is, [his] faith in the South's people & their future is unbounded." He continued working for social justice throughout his life until he dies in 2011. A FIRST EDITION from 1946, but with a slightly different state DJ showing a blurb from Walter Winchell to front cover. This DJ is much more scarce than the First State one which touted "a documented expos." Hardcover small octavo has tan cloth-covered boards lettered & ruled in black to front & spine. Condition is Near Fine: completely clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure, pages creamy white with a modest, even tanning, but completely unmarked. Slight bumping & rubbing to spine tips & some scattered rubbed spots to front cover at both top & bottom edges (showing up as light spots). The unclipped DJ (with orig. $3.00 price intact) is Fair, with heavy creasing & many small-medium chips, rubbing to extremities; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover Free!
