E-060: Simon and Schuster. Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1949. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Simon and Schuster, New York 1949. 245 pgs. Contains 115 photographs documenting India shortly after independence. End papers are color illustrated maps of India and Pakistan. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelfwear present around the extremities (chip and closed tear present to the crown of the DJ spine ends). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. Bourke-White was a photographer working for "Life" magazine at the time she took these photographs "I arrived in India in the early spring of 1946. The groundwork for independence was being laid, and I stayed for most of that year, traveling about the country . Then I came home, started this book, found I wanted to learn more about India, and returned to spend part of '47 and '48 there. I found startling parallels to Western life and problems; many times I was reminded of the struggles of the infant American republic. India and Pakistan are far from realizing complete 'freedom'; new constitutions do not automatically dissolve old inequities as some events in this book will demonstrate. But to an American, the whole charter of liberty for the Indian people is illuminated by its first five words. 'We the People of India. , " EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 245 pages .
