Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Sutton Elbert Griggs (June 19, 1872 - January 2, 1933) was an African-American author, Baptist minister, and social activist. He is best known for his novel Imperium in Imperio, a utopian work that envisions a separate African-American state within the United States. Griggs was a prolific author, writing more than thirty books and pamphlets in his lifetime and selling them door-to-door or at the revival meetings at which he preached. His first novel, Imperium in Imperio, published in 1899, is his most famous. In 1901, Griggs founded the Orion Publishing Company to sell books to the African American market. None of his four subsequent novels achieved the success of Imperium in Imperio, but he produced a steady stream of social and religious tracts, as well as an autobiography.…

Front hinge broken, rear hinge cracked, binding shaken. A signed copy of a significant book. Sutton E. Griggs was a Black Baptist minister and novelist who spoke out against racial injustice more fervently than many of his contemporaries. He wrote and self-published five novels, all of which were intended to counter the white supremacist writings of Thomas Dixon and Thomas Nelson Page. The academic Hugh M. Gloster wrote in 1943: "Though virtually unknown to white American readers, his novels were probably more popular among the rank and file of Negroes than the fiction of Chesnutt and Dunbar. Militant and assertive, Griggs chronicled the passing of the servile black man and hailed the advent of the intellectually emancipated Negro." The Hindered Hand, written in direct response to Dixon's The Leopard's Spots, chronicles the fate of a mixed-race family and addresses numerous national and international issues. A graphic lynching scene, based on actual events, depicts the torture and immolation of a Black couple. The novel ends with two characters departing for Africa, followed by the five-page appendix "Notes for the Serious." A call to action and celebration of achievement, the book is a forerunner to the Black Power movement that emerged decades later. Gloster again, now president of Morehouse College and writing in 1969, "American Negroes who espouse black beauty, black pride, black militancy, and black separatism are ideological successors of Dr. Sutton E. Griggs.". Signed.…
