Imperium in Imperio (1899) is the story of two men-one black and one mulatto-who grow up in a racist America. The dark-skinnedBelton, a conservative assimilationist, attends college, goes to Louisiana to advocate voting rights for blacks, and barely survives a lynchmob. The lighter-skinned Bernard is traumatized by the suicide of his beautiful black sweetheart, Viola, whose dying wish convincesBernard to become a staunch nationalist and fight for a separation of the black and white races. Both men join a radical movement whoseaim is to establish Texas as an all-black country, separate from the rest of the United States. The narrator, BerI Trout, tells the story ofIMPERIUM IN IMPERIO ("a nation within a nation") on the eve of his own execution. Tomorrow, he will be put to death by his fellownationalists for exposing their radical plot, and causing the uprising to fail.

Industry Reviews

"A powerful, moving story . . . This new edition
should restore Griggs to his rightful place among black
intellectuals and protest novelists."
--John Stauffer, Frederick Douglass Prize winner for The Black Hearts of Men
