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.
