Book excerpt: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw the first generation of formal participation by African Americans in the US's international diplomatic program. Given the heightened attentiveness to language-use that is common to the fields of diplomacy and literary writing, it should come as no surprise that several black diplomats tried their hand at literature while several black writers entered into the field of diplomacy.
