Pauline Hopkins' Of One Blood

Hello Youtubers!!! I hope your day is going safe and well! Let’s turn to the first novel written by a black writer, starring a black character and set in Africa. She uses a romance framing device much like Mary Shelley’s The Last Man. This is Of One Blood. What happens when a black man who doesn’t identify with his race heads to Africa to find money on an expedition to lost Ethiopia? This 1902 story was serialized in Colored American Magazine. You can find out more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Col.... Pauline was the founder, editor, and biggest writer for the first black magazine after slavery. This is a good, fun, novel! I read it in two days. You can grab the book here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/074... Have you read Of One Blood? Any other of her other works?
