  • Djuka: The Bush Negros of Dutch Guiana

    Written by
    Kahn, Morton Charles, American, 1896 - 1959
    Published by
    Viking Press, founded 1925
    Date
    1931
    Medium
    ink on paper (fiber product), cardboard, and thread
    Dimensions
    H x W x D: 8 7/16 × 6 × 1 5/16 in. (21.4 × 15.2 × 3.3 cm)
    Description
    A 233-page first edition hardcover book entitled Djuka the Bush Negroes of Dutch Guiana. The front cover has a dark brown imprint of a close-up depiction of an African maroon from Dutch Guiana. The spine of the book has a brown decorative print with a border along the upper and lower edges. The spine reads [DJUKA / THE / BUSH / NEGROES / OF / DUTCH / GUIANA]. Beneath the title the author’s name is imprinted [ MORTON C. / KAHN]. [ VIKING ] is located just above the lower decorative print.
    The interior end leaf of the book includes a map of the continents of South America, Africa, and a small portion of North America. This entire graphic is brick-red and light yellow in color. The light yellow continent of Africa is on the right side of the map. The early twentieth century boundary lines of Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana/British Gold Coast, Togoland, Nigeria, and Cameroon are filled in with the brick red color. The Niger River and the Congo River are also noted on the map. The interior of Africa has an illustration of individuals from their necks up. They all have coffles around their necks linking them together and the group is headed towards the western coast of Africa. The left side of the end leaf shows [SOUTH AMERICA], the [WEST INDIES] and the top of Florida labelled [N / A] presumably signifying North America. South America is light yellow, but [GUIANA] is blocked out in the same brick red color as the west African countries. The interior of South America has an illustrated depiction of a group of maroons with a dwelling behind them. The [SLAVE ROUTES] between these continents are depicted with bulleted arrows. The arrow starts at western Africa and branches to Guiana, the West Indies, and North America. The tip of the arrow pointing to Guiana has the labels of [BRITISH / DUTCH / FRENCH].
    The book includes 65 photographs. Among them are benches almost identical to those of the Ashanti in West Africa, drums, carved calabash gourds used for eating, carved wooden combs, images of transportation along waterways, and other images of daily life, dress, and culture.
    There is an inscription on the page facing the title page which appears to have been written in 1999 and was for documentation purposes.

    H x W (Printed Portrait): 10 1/2 × 7 11/16 in. (26.7 × 19.5 cm)
    Description
    Length of printed textile by Vlisco customized with added printed graphic portraits of Barack Obama. The fabric features a white ground with an abstract design in tones of blues with teal and olive. There are three (3) rows all the same, but with the top and bottom rows having olive details and the middle row having teal details. The design is a very large scale pattern of diamonds set horizontally in a row, the corners covered by large abstract flowers printed in tones of blue that connect the diamonds together on all sides to create a grid. The diamonds are shell-like, with undulating borders in dark blue and are infilled with thin dark blue undulating lines and a pebbled batik technique. The top and bottom rows have the olive batik and the middle row has the teal batik. There are partials of the pattern with the teal batik near the selvedge at both ends as well. The white spaces between the batik filled shell-like diamonds are also shaped like diamonds with the corners covered by the stylized flowers, and are also filled in with thin dark blue undulating lines. An oval-framed portrait of Barack Obama is custom printed in black and white onto the manufactured printed fabric. Text inside the frame reads "BLACK PRESIDENT'S DAY FEBRUARY 21, 2011 / BARACK OBAMA 44TH PRESIDENT OF TEH U.S.A." The added prints are placed on top of the olive and teal filled shell-like diamonds in an alternating pattern so that there are two (2) portraits stacked vertically in the top and bottom row of olive diamonds with the teal diamond in the middle between them left blank. In the next column, the olive diamonds are blank and the teal diamond contains the added printed portrait of Obama. Manufacturer's information is printed on both selvedges that reads in repetition "GUARANTEED DUTCH WAX VLISCO *SUPER-WAX* A1094 *SUPER-WAX".
