When Africa Awakes

Originally published in 1920, it is a collection of essays and articles that articulate Hubert Harrison's vision for Black self-determination and unity. 

Harrison's writings in this collection emphasize the need for an independent Black political agenda and critique the systemic injustices faced by African Americans. His work laid the groundwork for future Black intellectual and political movements.

The book includes over fifty articles detailing Harrison's role in the "New Negro Movement" during the World War I era, highlighting his contributions to the development of militant Black political thought. It is considered a significant influence on later figures such as Marcus Garvey and A. Philip Randolph .
