New York: Ramparts/Random House, 1969. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Good Plus. Cleaver, a radical political activist and Black Muslim leader, spent most of the 1960s in prison, where he wrote his revolutionary, "Soul On Ice." The writings, speeches and interview collected in this volume are after his release from prison while he struggled to deal with the limits of his probation and what he saw as his duties as a black political leader. The work was collected and edited by Robert Scheer, who worked with Cleaver at Ramparts Magazine during this period. Aside from some light soiling on text edges, text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a two-inch tear in the top edge of the front panel near the spine, as well as a couple of smaller edge tears and minor creasing. The large tear has been tape-repaired on the obverse by a previous owner. While torn, the dj is whole -- not tattered or with missing chips. It is not price-clipped. A solid reading/study copy.
