Abstract
Abstract:
In W. E. B. Du Bois’ Dark Princess (1928) Anglophone legibility simultaneously limits and extends coalitions between racialized subjects from different empires. Drawing on the concept of inter-imperiality, this essay argues that this novel is a key text for theorizing the connections between the emergent field of the Global Anglophone and earlier articulations of an inter-imperial English-speaking world that mediated relations among anti-colonial writers and activists as well as imperialists.
