1971Best.-Nr. 258231971. Original wraps. Very Good. The 1971 stated first --and almost certainly only-- edition of this undoubtedly scarce racial polemic INSCRIBED BY "NIGGER CHRIST" on the front pastedown. We have no printed information on the who or where of publishing but we do have the pseudonymous names of the father-and-son authors "American Prince" and "Nigger Christ". Presumably the name "Nigger Christ" referes to Langston Hughes' famous use of it in his 1931 poem "Christ in Alabama" which was written in response to the infamous Scottsboro Boys trial. The quarto paperback is solifd and VG in its pictorial wrappers with light staining and scuffing --and just a bit of ink scribbling-- along the panels. Internally very clean with few markings beyond the author's inscription. An incendiary reckoning of where things are at racially at this writing 1971 in The United States. Even by today's standards provocative and scorching. unknown books

It has no permanent resident vision of itself as modern like Los Angeles it has no imperial patron like Paris's Mitterand no Olympian vision like Barcelona's. It is a city where what happened in Paris or Tokyo or Los Angeles or Milan yesterday affects what happens in studios today and what happens today affects Paris Tokyo Los Angeles or Milan tomorrow. It is also a city of designers listening to and watching it and each other. Since it is too large and diffuse for a dominant style no single New York exists. Connecting the diverse images one theme persists: the moving but unmoved city as site and element of design' from the introduction With an 11-page introductory essay and wonderful photos of old new renovations industrial techno and much more.
