Ere Roosevelt Came is a short novel by early pan-Africanist Dusé
Mohamed Ali. Originally serialised in Ali's Nigerian magazine The
Comet in 1934, it grapples with the rise of global fascism and
white supremacy, and the growing geopolitical influence of the USA
in the interwar period. This is a fantastical, intricately woven
and speculative story about how Black American airmen, organising
in secret, fight an international assemblage of white supremacists
and Russian foreign agents bent on instigating a new world war. The
narrative reveals how Black liberation struggles, Bolshevism, and
the rise of so-called 'coloured' Japanese empires were bound
together in the Pan-African literary imaginary. Written by a
Sudanese-Egyptian, serialised in West Africa, and set in the USA,
Ere Roosevelt Came is a Pan-African novel par excellence, and a
fascinating historical document that conveys the complexities of
Black internationalism in the interwar years. The novel is
presented with two original, contextualising essays and appendices
featuring selected other writings to provide further insight into
Ali's vision of a Pan-African future.
