Dark Princess

Dark Princess

by W. E. B. Du Bois

Dark Princess is a historical novel by W. E. B. Du Bois that explores the beauty of people of color around the world. The novel's fully imagined characters explore the richness and beauty of black culture, but it was not well received originally due to eroticism and a failed attempt at social realism.
