Description

Pauline E. Hopkins' "Of One Blood: The Hidden Self" is a novel of immense significance in the African-American literary canon. Through its exploration of racialized identity and its interrogation of essentialist discourses, Hopkins sheds light on the complexities of race and power dynamics in early 20th century America.

Author

Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins (1859–1930) was an African American novelist, journalist, and editor whose fiction explored race, identity, and hidden history with bold imagination. Of One Blood: The Hidden Self is among the most remarkable works of early Black speculative and political fiction — a novel of ancestry, science, and African diasporic connection.
