African American In South Africa: Travel Notes Of Ralph J. Bunche [Paperback]

Ralph J. Bunche (Author), Robert R. Edgar (Contributor)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A firsthand account of South Africa as experienced by a black American in the 1930s in itself merits interest. But it becomes even more important when written by such a key figure in 20th-century history as Bunche, an honors graduate of UCLA in 1927, the first black American Ph.D. in political science, prominent United Nations official, and winner of the 1950 Nobel Peace Prize. His reconstituted notes tell us much about South African attitudes and sociopolitical conditions, but they also provide valuable insight into Bunche's inner mind. This fascinating, well-edited work belongs in all collections on the history of South Africa or African Americans. Recommended.
