"When Africa Awakes" by Hubert H. Harrison is a collection of essays and editorials written around the early 20th century, particularly during the aftermath of World War I. The work explores themes of race, democracy, and the emerging political consciousness of African Americans and the broader Afro-diaspora. Harrison articulates the urgent demand for civil rights and racial justice, highlighting the double standards faced by black individuals in America during a period when democracy was being championed worldwide. The opening of the book introduces the context of its creation, framing it as a response to significant social injustice following the war. Harrison discusses the formation of the Liberty League, a group advocating for the rights of African Americans, and underscores the urgency of their demands. The first chapter details a mass meeting that brought together Negro Americans in protest against systemic violence, specifically lynching and discrimination, while expressing a collective desire for the acknowledgment of their contributions and rights in a nation proclaiming democracy. Harrison's tone is assertive, emphasizing a shift from passive requests to active demands for rights and justice, indicative of the revolutionary spirit rising among the black population in that era.
