A new critical edition of Sutton Griggs's
turn-of-the-twentieth-century novel, which continues to shed light
on understandings of Black politics. Sutton E. Griggs's first
novel, originally published in 1899, paints a searing picture of
the violent enforcement of disfranchisement and Jim Crow racial
segregation. Based on events of the time, including US imperial
policies, revolutionary movements, and racial protests, Imperium in
Imperio introduces the fictional Belton Piedmont and Bernard
Belgrave as "future leaders of their race" and uses these
characters to make sense of the violence that marked the dawn of
the twentieth century. Taking on contemporary battles over
separatism and integration, Griggs's novel continues to play a
crucial role in understandings of Black politics. Edited and
introduced by Tess Chakkalakal and Kenneth W. Warren, this new
critical edition offers not only an incisive biographical and
historical introduction to the novel and its author but also a
wealth of references that make the events and characters of
Griggs's Imperium in Imperio, and its aftermath, accessible to
readers today.
