Author: ROUSSÈVE, Charles Barthelemy
Title: The Negro in Louisiana: Aspects of His History and His Literature
Publication: New Orleans: The Xavier University Press, 1937
Description: Hardcover. First edition. Octavo. 212 pp., frontispiece and illustrations. Very faint tidemark on front fly, else very good or better in badly tattered and chipped dustwrapper. Extremely scarce title, published in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a Master of Arts degree at Xavier. Much content on obscure authors and forgotten Creole folk tales and songs by a mixed-race Creole writer. Inscribed by the author: "With cordial regard, Charles V. Roussève." Very uncommon in the trade, we've had the book once before, but have never seen one signed or in jacket (even a jacket as compromised as this one). *Blockson* 3503.
