The narrative reveals how Black liberation struggles, Bolshevism, and the rise of so-called \"colored\" Japanese empires were bound together in the Pan-African literary imaginary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written by a Sudanese-Egyptian, serialized in a West African magazine, and set in the USA, Ere Roosevelt Came is a Pan-African novel par excellence, and a fascinating historical document that conveys the complexities of Black internationalism in the interwar years. The novel is presented with two original, contextualizing essays and appendices featuring selected other writings to provide further insight into Ali's vision of a Pan-African future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDuse Mohamed Ali \u003c\/b\u003e(1866-1945) was a playwright, historian, journalist, editor, and publisher.
