What would happen if Marcus Garvey had achieved his dreams by
force? Satirizing one of the most influential figures of twentieth
century Black America, George S. Schuyler's Black Empire is a
remarkable look into the complicated politics of race and class.
After witnessing a murder in Harlem, the promising young Black
journalist, Carl Slater, is kidnapped by the incredibly charismatic
but deranged Dr. Belsidus. Having secretly formed a Black
Internationale, the doctor has plans to upset alliances between
Europe and the United States when the time is right. As Carl slowly
discovers the depth of the doctor's insanity and witnesses the
fallout from the ensuing revolution, he watches as the dream of an
Africa for Africans is fully realized but questions the
cost.Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this
edition of Black Empire reimagines a classic of satire and Black
speculative fiction for the modern reader.
