Description

FREEMAN-GRENVILLE, G. S. P. The East African Coast: Select Documents from the First to the Earlier Nineteenth Century. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1962.

Edition: First Edition.

Description: Octavo. Original publisher's blue cloth, gilt lettering to spine. Fine. Binding square and tight. Cloth clean and bright with only light shelf wear. Interior exceptionally clean. Ownership inscription on the front free endpaper: "Doane Perry, November, 1966, New York."

PROVENANCE: From the personal working library of anthropologist, educator, and Peace Corps volunteer Thomas Doane Perry III (1942–2025). Perry acquired this volume in November 1966 while preparing to teach World and East African History for the Peace Corps before his service in Uganda. The book remained part of his lifelong scholarly library devoted to African history, anthropology, archaeology, and world cultures.

Significance: An important documentary collection compiled by noted historian G. S. P. Freeman-Grenville and published by Clarendon Press, presenting primary historical sources spanning the first through the early nineteenth centuries of the East African coast. This copy bears exceptional provenance through its direct association with Perry's preparation for Peace Corps service and his subsequent career as an anthropologist and educator specializing in African studies. An outstanding provenance copy for collectors of African history, anthropology, Peace Corps history, colonial studies, and Oxford African scholarship.
