Dark Princess Paperback - 1995
by W. E. Du Bois; Introduction by Claudia Tate
About this book
One of five novels written by the famous African American writer, teacher, sociologist, and activist, Dark Princess: A Romance tells the story of an African-American doctor falling in love with an Indian Princess against a backdrop of radical politics and the quest for racial justice. Du Bois described the novel as one of his favorite works.
From the rear cover
The problem of "the color line", W. E. B. Du Bois's ever-present polemical theme, is at the core of this novel of sensual love, radical politics, and the quest for racial justice. Originally published in 1928, Dark Princess has a fantastical storyline, heavy with propagandist overtones. Du Bois depicts 1920s America as a racist nation primed for radical protest and terrorism. Matthew Townes, the protagonist, is a medical student expelled because his race bars him from the required course in obstetrics in a white hospital. Self-exiled in Berlin after his political idealism is corrupted, Townes falls in love with Princess Kautilya, daughter of a maharajah, and joins her international team in which people of color unite against white imperialism.
