Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD, NAP). This was Daniel Bell's book. He contributed an essay titled Ethnicity and Social Change. He did not write his name in the book. He did, curiously, put a parenthetical line beside two paragraphs in his own essay. He did this again only a few times, once on page 306 and 312, and twice on page 313. On the rear flap he wrote '1 +2-- Modernity', and referenced page 306 with the words 'Orlando structured' and page 313 with a word I can't make out. Orlando Patterson was the author of the essay, titled Context and Choice in Ethnic Allegiance, in which these pages appeared. Glazer and Bell went to college together and taught together. Here's a quote from Glazer's Wikipedia profile: 'When Glazer attended the City College of New York in the 1940s, it was known as a hotbed of radicalism. Glazer fell in with a number of other young Marxists who were hostile to Soviet-style communism. Glazer, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Irving Kristol would meet in an alcove of the City College cafeteria, and they spent their days trying to understand how the socialist ideal of political and economic justice had ended in Joseph Stalin's murderous tyranny. As Glazer would later recall, 'one of the characteristics of our group was a notion of its universal competence. Culture, politics, whatever was happening we shot our mouths off on. It was a model created by the arrogance that if you're a Marxist you can understand anything and it was a model that even as we gave up our Marxism we nevertheless stuck with.' Dr. Bell took very good care of the book. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The spine looks very good, just a little crinkling at the top edge. The page edges are very clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. I'm not finding any soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And Dr. Bell's handful of penned margin lines represent the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. I've always had the dust jacket in a fitted protective cover. It looks very clean. I'm not noticing any tears. There's a very small loss at the top rear corner. There is a thin crease coming down from the rear top edge. The flaps are in very good shape, very clean, a couple of tiny crinkles. I've already noted the penned notes on the rear flap which also include '1975.' From the dust jacket: 'This volume launches a far-reaching exploration into the meaning, manifestations, and significance of ethnicity in modern society and politics. The authors seek neither to celebrate nor to deplore ethnicity, but rather to examine it as a basis of social organization which in modern societies has achieved a significance comparable to that of social class. Ethnicity indicates that minority groups around the world are no longer doing what society for hundreds of years has expected them to do-- assimilate, disappear, or endure as exotic, troublesome survivors. Instead, their numbers have expanded by immigration, their experiences and struggles mirrored to one another by the international mass media, minorities have become vital, highly conscious forces within almost all contemporary societies. Ethnicity has played a pivotal role in recent social change; it has evolved into a political idea, a mobilizing principle, and an effective means of advancing group interests.'.…

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Collection of three original black-and-white cabinet card photographs tipped in on beige and dark brown boards. Two of the photos show portraits of Dorothea and Barbara Curtis. The third photo possibly shows Dorothea and one of her brothers, Warden or Laurence. Each of the children wears formal attire. They are posed in photography studios with seats, props, and artificial backdrops. Each of the cabinet cards was produced by a different photographer. The E. R. Curtiss (Madison, Wisconsin) cabinet card is made of dark brown board with gilt edges and gilt lettering printed on front. The A. C. Isaacs (Madison, Wisconsin) cabinet card has beige board with brown lettering printed on front. The L. Peavey (Faribault, Minnesota) cabinet card has beige board with no lettering on front. No date, circa 1880s-1890s. 4 1/4" x 6 1/2." Each of the cabinet cards is very clean and intact except for light age toning, slight rubbing, a few spots of scuffing, and minuscule wear to extremities. Each of the cabinet cards and the entire collection as a whole are Very Good, almost Near Fine. Each of the photographers' names and locations are also printed on the back of each cabinet card. This is a collection of three cabinet cards, each of which are portraits. Two of the portraits show sisters Dorothea Curtis and Barbara Curtis together as children. The remaining portrait possibly shows a toddler-age Dorothea seated with an unknown boy who is perhaps one of her brothers, Warden or Laurence. Dorothea Curtis (1878-1963) and Barbara Curtis (1882-?) were two of five children of Charles Albert Curtis (1835-1907) and Harriette (also, Harriet) "Hattie" Curtis (nee Hughes; 1846-1924). Charles had an accomplished career as a military officer and instructor. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War and achieved the rank of Captain for his services. Charles also fought in the "Indian Wars" of the American Southwest and later taught as a professor of Military Science and Tactics at several universities and military academies. As an author, he contributed articles and stories to several magazines and wrote one book, Captured by the Navajos (1898). Charles worked as a Military Science and Tactics professor at the University of Wisconsin from 1898 until his passing in 1907. Dorothea and Barbara's brothers were Warden (also, Wardon) Allan (also, Allen) Curtis (1867-1940), Laurence Albert Curtis (1872-1939), and George Curtis (1874-1877). Dorothea graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1901 and married Wallace Chickering. Barbara graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1904 and married Earl B. Rose. Edwin Rodney Curtiss (1836-1911) was a photographer who had a studio based in Madison, Wisconsin. Some records show that Curtiss moved to Madison in 1859. A. C. Isaacs (?-?) was also a Madison-based photographer. Lewis Peavey (?-?) was a photographer based in Faribault, Minnesota. The cabinet card was a type of photograph mounted on board. The actual photo of the cabinet card was typically a thin albumen print. Portraits were a common subject of cabinet cards. Cabinet cards saw a rise in popularity during the 1860s and 1870s and had overtaken, but not supplanted, the earlier and smaller carte de visite (CDV). Cabinet cards began to decline in popularity in the United States during the 1890s and early 1900s but maintained a relatively steady following in Europe. The last commercial cabinet card was produced during the 1930s.…
