During the first generation of black participation in US diplomacy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a vibrant community of African American cultural figures worked as US representatives abroad. Through the literary and diplomatic dossiers of figures such as Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Richard Wright, Brian Roberts shows how the intersection of black aesthetic trends and US political culture both Americanised and internationalised the trope of the New Negro.
