Disillusioned with the United States after being expelled from medical school because of his race, Matthew Towns, a young African American man, moves to Berlin, Germany, where he meets and falls in love with Princess Kautilya, daughter of the Maharajah of Bwodpur, India. Together, they join an international coalition to fight against white imperialism. Civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois dedicated his life to fighting against racial bigotry. Dark Princess, written in the genre of fantasy romance fiction, offered Du Bois an opportunity to explore his dream of eradicating prejudice and discrimination against African Americans and people of color. The novel is a powerful indictment of white supremacy--and a stirring call for solidarity among people of color. It has been rediscovered by scholars and critics who appreciate its bold vision and historical significance.
