Summary "Imperium in Imperio: A Study of the Negro Race Problem" by Sutton E. Griggs is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the complexities of race relations in America, particularly focusing on the African American experience during that time, and it engages with themes like betrayal, education, and social justice as it follows the lives of characters like Belton and Bernard as they navigate systemic oppression and personal aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces Berl Trout, who reflects on his perceived traitorous actions against his people, establishing a grave tone that foreshadows conflict and moral dilemmas. We are introduced to Mrs. Piedmont, a determined mother passionate about her children’s education, and her son Belton, who is set to begin his school life under a hostile teacher. The narrative highlights the educational struggles faced by black children, the dynamics of prejudice, and the aspirations that propel them forward. It sets the stage for Belton's journey as he encounters both the promise of education and the bitter realities of racial inequality, capturing the historical tensions between hope and disillusionment in African American life.
