{{Large|''The White Negro''. San Francisco: City Lights Books. Essay, 27 pp., 35¢, softcover.}}

This often-reprinted pamphlet is almost always given a 1957 date in bibliographies, an unlikely date in that the essay is followed in the pamphlet by the 1958 piece, “Reflections on Hipsterism” ([[58.1]]). A 23 August 1959 ''Chicago Sun-Times'' review of the second (50¢) [[w:City Lights Bookstore|City Lights]] edition, and Mailer’s 30 April 1959 letter to City Lights editor, [[w:Lawrence Ferlinghetti|Lawrence Ferlinghetti]], indicates a 1959 City Lights publication date. In addition, the list of available City Lights publications in the 50¢ edition contains only 1958 publications. Rpt: [[57.1]], [[59.13]], [[98.7]] (partial), ''Voices of Dissent: A Collection of Articles from Dissent''. New York: Grove, 1958.
