Item Details

Author: Helper, Hinton Rowan
Title: Nojoque; A Question for a Continent

Date Published: 1867
Description:

479 pp. (8vo) 18x12 cm (7¼x5"), original blindstamped brown pebbled cloth, spine lettered in gilt. First Edition.

Helper rose to fame following the publication of his anti-slavery work "The Impending Crisis" which was banned in many southern states. Following the Civil War and a brief government career in South America, Helper published the present work proposing the expulsion or elimination of all non-white races. Nojoque has been described as "the most virulent racist diatribe ever published in the United States." (George M. Fredrickson, The Arrogance of Race, p. 46, 1988).
