The Hands of Ethiopia
Du Bois's case for Pan-Africanism: Africa's wartime exploitation by the imperial powers, the 1919 Pan-African Congress he helped organize in Paris, and a proposal for an internationally administered African state built from the former German colonies. Followed by 'The Princess of the Hither Isles,' a prose parable of a princess who chooses a black beggar-king over the white king of gold.
