An exceptionally rare and culturally significant signed first edition of Kofi Awoonor’s masterpiece.
This is the NOK Publishers edition, the preferred imprint for serious collectors of the African intellectual diaspora.
Published during Awoonor's influential tenure in the United States, this work remains a cornerstone of post-colonial scholarship. Awoonor was killed in a terrorist attack in 2013 and was a huge voice for African intellectual diaspora.
Provenance: This copy features a warm, personal inscription on the title page: "For Bill, with appreciation & warmth, Kofi Awoonor."
Condition:
The book is in remarkable condition for its age. The iconic bright orange dust jacket—notoriously prone to fading—retains its vibrant color. Binding is tight and square; pages are clean with the original map of Africa (1975) crisp and intact. A museum-quality copy of a rare scholarly first edition. This is the only book of this kind of the market currently.
Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket
Edition: First Edition, First Printing (NOK Publishers)
Publication Date: 1975
