Stapled limp card wrappers. Some age-toning to wrappers; otherwisse fine. Six-page introduction (or ‘description’ as it’s called here) by Allen Ginsberg, followed by Genet’s speech given at Yale’s May Day Rally in 1970 in support of the Black Panther Party and the release from prison of Bobby Seale, one of their co-founders and leaders. *** Jean Genet famously had to sneak into the US illegally from Canada to make this address at Yale, or in the words of Ginsberg ‘Genet slipped criminally into forbidden America through Canada border…’
