An African American in South Africa — 1992 · 
The Travel Notes of Ralph J. Bunche 28 September 1937–1 January 1938
Edited by Ralph Bunche and Robert R. Edgar
“A firsthand account of South Africa as experienced by a black American in the 1930s in itself merits interest. But it becomes even more important when written by such a key figure in 20th-century history as Bunche.… This fascinating, well-edited work belongs in all collections on the history of South Africa or African Americans.”
Library Journal
Nothing short of magical. The fifty pages of notes and annotations alone are worth the price of the volume, providing a virtual directory of social and political movements in the period.
