Description: This is the now hard to find 30 October 1935 number of the weekly Nation. A very good copy, especially in this nice shape. See photo #2 for complete contents. 27 pages. Some highlights of this outstanding issue include: Carleton Beals and Abel Plenn contribute a first-rate article on what to look forward to in life for black Americans living in the great state of Louisiana: hangings, torture, beatings and hackings to death, shooting black men for annoying white woman, etc., etc. It's headed "Louisiana's Black Utopia." This is an item of past and continuing interest. Frank Nuhn reviews Erskine Caldwell's new book, Some American People. Editorials on the need for boycotting sales of war and other materials to Italy; of Nazi sentiments about to dominate the treatment of Jews and Blacks in the upcoming 1936 Olympics: President Roosevelt bolstering American defenses following Italian, Japanese and German war mongering: lengthy chain gang sentences in the state of Georgia for Black Men, etc. Allan Chase and Alfred Goldsmith's expose of the American "Milk Racket." Speaking of Japan and Italy of the day, there's a great full page cartoon by "Fritz" in this issue. See photo #3. Harold J. Lasky's prophetic essay "England Faces War." Critic R.P. Blackmur reviews Sinclair Lewis's new book, It Can't Happen Here. William Troy reviews Katherine Anne Porter's Flowering Judas and Other Stories.
