SEALS, Howard E. After "-Yuh Mamma". Chicago: Howard Seals, 1972. First Edition. A sequel to the pamphlet "You Ain't Thuh Man Yuh Mamma Wuz", published in 1969, which made the central claim: "NOT ONE Black man is known to have sex-murdered a baby girl. THOUSANDS of white men have committed this crime!" Seals notes the bizarre coincidence that "shortly after the pamphlet was advertised by posters and was distributed on Chicago's South and West sides, there began a series of murders of young Black girls in Chicago that appeared to directly contradict the assertion." Seals goes on to examine the history of "ritual murder" in the Black community, noting its absence is informed by the fact that "in Africa such crime is so completely unknown that there is no adequate language with which to talk about it" and deducing "A number of policemen, some of quite high rank, probably have direct knowledge and complicity in these staged murders." An interesting artifact of the Black Power movement. Very good condition overall. Seller Inventory # 20684
