RECENT BOOKS                                  KAISER
Teachers Strike New York, 1968.)
Lichello, Robert. PIONEER IN BLOOD PLASMA: DR. CHARLES RICHARD DREW. New York: Julian Messner. 191 pages. (This is a biography for young people. It has a one-page bibliography on Dr. Drew. Another book on Dr. Drew for children is Richard Hardwick's Charles Richard Drew: Pioneer in Blood Research, 1968.) 
Love, Nat. THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NAT LOVE, BETTER KNOWN IN THE CATTLE COUNTRY AS "DEADWOOD DICK." New York: Arno Press. $6.00. (This reprint of a 1907 book is the only book-length autobiography by a black cowboy. Nat Love is treated, of course, in Phillip Durham and Everett L. Jone's The Negro Cowboys, 1965.)
McCall, Dan. THE MAN SAYS YES. New York: Viking Press. 247 pages. $5.95. (This is a novel about black-white relations and interracial marriage by the Cornell University professor who wrote the recently published The Example of Richard Wright. That so many white writers feel that they have enough solid, first hand, inside knowledge of Negro life to enable them to write black novels is really amazing. Or are they really projecting and imagining with little inside knowledge of Negro life?)
McCord, William; Howard, John; Friedberg, Bernard; Hardwood, Edwin. LIFE STYLES IN THE BLACK GHETTO. New York: W. W. Norton. 334 pages. $6.95. (A book of essays about the urban Negro ghetto. Part I is the Negro in the City; Part II is individual life styles.)
McPherson, James Alan. HUE AND CRY, Boston: Little Brown. $5.95. (This first book by a young black writer and Harvard Law School graduate has received high praise from Ralph Ellison and white critics mostly for its craftsmanship. The book consists of ten short stories about all kinds of people black and white. But McPherson says he tries to keep color far in the background.) 
Marine, Gene. THE BLACK PANTHERS. New York: New American Library. 224 pages. Photographs. $.95 (paper). (There are no bibliography and index and almost no documentation here. But I have listed four articles on the Black Panthers and The Black Panther newspaper including Marine's article on the Black Panthers [Ramparts, June 29, 1968] in my article "Recent Literature on Black Liberation Struggles,". Science and Society, Spring 1969, pages 181-2. This is the first full-length book on the Black Panthers. The book Eldridge Cleaver: Post-Prison Writings and Speeches also has material on the Panthers.)

Praeger. 192 pages; 32 pages of photographs. $5.95 (cloth); New York: Bantam Books. $.95 (paper). (This book is a report submitted to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, May 16, 1969, by the Civil Violence Research Center, Case Western Reserve University.)

This volume is in the Negro American Biographies and Autobiographies series edited by the Negro historian John Hope Franklin who has a foreword in this book.)
