Prospectus for Negro Musicians and Their Music published in 1936 by Carter Woodson’s Associated Publishers the first firm devoted exclusively to publishing Black-themed books and related materials. The 439-page illustrated book is promoted as the first history of Blacks in music and the first “to compare scientifically the achievements of the Negro in this sphere with those of other advanced peoples.” The prospectus reprints the book’s table of contents as well as six newspaper or magazine reviews including those in The Knickerbocker Press The Boston Globe The Birmingham News-Age-Herald and The Nashville Banner. An order blank is printed on the back. “The Associated Publishers was born in the fertile mind of Carter G. Woodson being part of his plan to correct the widely held belief that the Negro had no history. Following World War I Woodson sensed a desire among Negroes to know more about their past. Publishing companies however were not interested in bringing out serious works on the Negro. Hence in November 1920 Woodson organized The Associated Publishers with himself as president of the board of trustees.” Quarles Benjamin. “A Profile: The Associated Publishers” in Negro History Bulletin Vol.28 No.4 1965 p.81. unknown

rif. 77551958. A Gestetner copy. Three pages paginated 1 to 3 with covering sheet on four leaves each 33 x 21.5 cm. An old copy creased and spotted. Text clear and complete. An entertaining spoof on how Cape would respond if a novel called 'Othello' by an unknown William Shakespeare were offered to them. At head of first page: 'REPORT OF POLITBURO MEETING 1.4.58. Present: R.K. M.S.H. D.G. W.P. N.A. J.S.O. J.A. W.C.1. The following were discussed: OTHELLO by William Shakespeare.' Begins 'M.S.H. said that he had got on to this book through reading some sonnets by the author in Encounter. W.P. said he had read them and thought them rather old-fashioned. D.G. thought that they showed a homosexual tendency.' The discussion continues with R.K. opining that 'the colour problem might be difficult in America'. 'W.P. said he didn't think much of the title. It looked as though an 'h' had been dropped from the beginning. If we made it two words and called it HOT HELLO it would perhaps attract more attention.' A design for the jacket is discussed in similar tone. M.S.H. feels 'we'd had too many books about Cyprus. D.G. said we couldn't wipe Cyprus off the map; a recent book about Cyprus by Lawrence Durrell was a Book Society Choice. . D.G. said there weren't any British or Greeks in the book. It was a simple love story about a black man married to a white girl. He suffocated her with some pillows and then committed suicide.' N.A. does not think the book will be 'any good for the Australian market because they never used handkerchiefs there.' 'J.S.O. said he'd got some bio material. The man wrote from Stratford but whether this was Stratford London or Stratford Warwickshire he didn't know. He described himself as an actor. M.S.H. thought J.S.O. might find out about this. Perhaps the man was a Jamaican. If so Ian Fleming might know him. Fleming was a Cape author' D.G. considers it 'essentially a woman's book' and suggests the names covering five lines of notable women to whom to send the proofs. R.K. reports that the author 'seemed fond of single-word titles. This one was called MACBETH.' Ends with joke title by 'Slyman and Screwster' i.e. the American publishers Simon and Schuster.
