FIRST EDITION. Trade paperback in black and white illustrated wrappers. Spine slightly cockled and sunned, light edge- and joint wear, a few marks to front edge. Else, clean and tight. Near fine. African Writers Series. Though without inscription, this copy is from the library of Doreen and Walter Newlyn. Professor Walter Tessier Newlyn (1915-2002) was a British economist and educator, known for his work on monetary theory and with African nations, especially Uganda. In 1945 Newlyn was accepted as a mature student to read economics at LSE and by 1948 he was an assistant lecturer at the University of Leeds (UoL), to which he remained affiliated throughout his career, despite working extensively in Africa. From 1967 (until his retirement in 1978) Newlyn was Professor of Developmental Economics and in 1964 had founded UoL's African Studies Unit, now LUCAS (Loxley, 2003). Both Doreen and Walter were passionate about theatre; in the late 1950s they set up the Uganda Pilgrim Players, the country's first multi-racial theatre group. Back in the UK, Doreen was key to the foundation of the Leeds Playhouse in 1968. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2016
