New York: Harcourt, Brace, and Jovanonvich, 1976. Signed by Alice Walker in pen on the front free endpaper. First state of the limited edition uncorrected proof, far more rare than the first edition. In light blue tapebound wrappers. The earliest state of this novel, with hand written page numbers & touches of white out in places. There are supplemental pages noted as 216A & 216B. Meridian is set during the Civil Rights Movement at the critical juncture where for some activists, it intensified and became a violent struggle. Very Good.

A powerful novel of social change and personal transformation set in the civil rights movement.
