Description: A mixed - race Harvard medical student stumbles upon a hidden Ethiopian city the inhabitants of which possess both advanced technologies and mystical powers. Long before Marvel Comics gave us Wakanda a high - tech African country that has never been colonized this 1903 novel gave readers Reuel Briggs a mixed - race Harvard medical student passing as white who stumbles upon Telassar. In this long - hidden Ethiopian city the wise peaceful inhabitants of which possess both advanced technologies and mystical powers Reuel discovers the incredible secret of his own birth. Now he must decide whether to return to the life he's built and the woman he loves back in America or play a role in helping Telassar take its rightful place on the world stage. Considered one of the earliest articulations of Black internationalism Of One Blood takes as its theme the notion that race is a social construct perpetuated by racists.
