About This Item
Johannesburg: Oxford University Press for University of the Witwatersrand, 1937. 1st ed. . Blue Cloth. Good-VG. 14.5 Cm x 22.5 Cm. xiv+328, num.tables, histograms etc.; Pietmaritzburg bookseller's sm.label bottom fr.pastedown, thin strip of marginal browning to last 5 leaves and recto rear endpaper where it spreads to become light foxing across top and outer margin - mostly very faint though, otherwise clean, tight & unmarked internally; covers generally clean, top.sp.sl.rubbed, bottom more so. Despite faults, which do not really amount to much, a very acceptable copy nudging VG rating. Uncommon outside South Africa, this was an important and, for the time, highly enlightened work in which MacCrone advanced a 'frontier hypothesis' to explain rabid racism and invoked Freudian concepts where appropriate, in some ways an anticipation of the 'authoritarian personality' concept.
