Blake; Or, The Huts of America
Blake; Or, The Huts of America | Martin R. Delany
Martin R. Delany’s Blake (c. 1860) tells the story of Henry Blake’s escape from a southern plantation and his travels in the U.S., Canada, Africa, and Cuba on a mission to unite blacks of the Atlantic region in the struggle for freedom. Jerome McGann’s edition offers the first correct printing of the work and an authoritative introduction.

First read for 2021 and it‘s the first book from a crash course in black SFF history. It was written at the time it‘s set, in the 1800s and is an alternate reality, where slaves begin to organise an uprising after Henry‘s wife is sold and sent to Cuba after their owners had promised that it would never happen. Trigger warning for racism, child torture and anti-Semitic language. #historyofblacksff #bindrosbookshelf2021 #currentlyreading
