The Black Dragon Society and Racial Dynamics

This chapter examines the historical roots of the Black Dragon Society in Japan and its influence on nationalism and imperialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It highlights W.E.B. Du Bois's perspective on Japan as a symbol of resistance against Western colonialism and explores the connections between African and Asian identities within the context of the Nation of Islam. The narrative also discusses the interplay of various movements for political and racial autonomy in the face of global power dynamics.
