Black on Black; A Publication of the Black Student Union at Stanford University

Fall 1967. 52 pp. Octavo. Illustrated stapled wraps. VG only (exposure damage, spotting to covers affecting the final ten pages, soiling and offsetting). Six illustrations, six photos. The Preface, from the faculty advisor to the Black Student Union, states that Stanford black students must contend with “being black in a predominantly white society and in an overwhelmingly white university.” Furthermore, he notes that the “works by Stanford black students that appear here were all written before Newark, Detroit, and the other explosions of black resentment this past summer….these writings are a baring of the soul both in the traditional tragic sense and in the current sense of ‘soul’ or negritude.” Poetry and short stories with contributions from LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka) and Al Young.
