Table of Contents Author Clinton Derricks is an authority and avid collector on golliwog dolls, which are very popular in England. His collecting has given him a dual fascination with both the history of this nineteenth and twentieth century toy, and also the different messages that this toy and its representations convey. Many view golliwogs as an important segment of black social history in the western world; others consider that they perpetuate a negative image of blacks in society. Regardless of opinion, the golliwog commemorated its 100 year anniversary in 1995 and this book will serve to inform the collector.
