New York City, NY: The New Press, 1992. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: The New Press, 1992. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 403 pages. The author's ninth book. One of the most important literary and cultural events of the last decade of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a regular first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Studs Terkel's "Race: How Blacks And Whites Think And Feel About The American Obsession". Epic, historic, seemingly unending strife. The chronicler of The American Dream revisits The American Obsession, and prophetically anticipates its exacerbation at the turn of the new century. "He encourages a wide range of Americans, black and white, to speak their minds about race with remarkable frankness. The resulting book is infinitely more informative than polls taken on such issues because the subjects are allowed to explore their thoughts, prejudices, hopes, and fears. There is almost universal agreement among the blacks and their white sympathizers interviewed that life looks darker for blacks now than it did 20 years ago. A strong commitment to civil rights, meaningful affirmative action, poverty programs, and a social climate in which overt racism was unacceptable all suffered during the Reagan Years. Economic hardships that are also partly a legacy of that era are further polarizing American society in ways that are seldom discussed" (Publishers Weekly). "I don't know one black person who has never had an encounter with the cops" (a young, white, middle-class musician to Studs Terkel). Studs Terkel died on October 31, 2008 at the age of 96, yet another American icon who will not be replaced. An absolute "must-have" title for Studs Terkel collectors. <b><i> This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. </b></i> Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction in 1985 for "The Good War". One of the greatest American writers of the 20th century and a national treasure. A fine copy.
