EDITOR’S NOTE
When it was decided to reissue J. Saunders Redding’s famous
little book in a paperback edition, we wrote to Mr. Redding at
Hampton Institute, where he teaches English, to ask if he wished
to update the book or perhaps write a new introduction. In due
course an answer arrived from Nigeria, where Mr. Redding is
presently lecturing and traveling, telling us to go ahead with
whatever updating we would think important to the text. We
went over the book carefully. It is true, some things have changed:
Mr. Redding is a little older, his sons have grown into young men,
his father died last year, at the age of ninety-two―but except for
those things we found that, unfortunately, no updating was
needed.
