本書是哈林文藝復興時期少被提及、卻極具前瞻性的小說代表。由Pauline Hopkins所寫，故事融合神祕主義、恐怖氛圍與種族認同，展開一段關於愛、權力與血緣的震撼敘事。混血醫學生 Reuel Briggs 對自身的黑人身分與非洲歷史毫不在意，卻在前往衣索比亞的考古行程中，意外被帶入埋藏六千年的古城 Telassar，並受制於女王 Candace。在奢華而危險的宮殿裡，他逐步面對被隱瞞的家族真相，也重新理解血統、歷史與自我認同的重量。本書既具娛樂性，也直指種族偏見與歷史失語的核心，書名所指的「同源之血」，正是對人類彼此相連的深刻宣言。“Mysticism, horror, and racial identity merge fluidly in this thrilling tale of love, obsession, and power” (Publishers Weekly) written by one of the lesser-known literary figures of the much-lauded Harlem Renaissance.Pauline Hopkins is considered by some to be the most prolific African-American woman writer and the most influential literary editor of the first decade of the twentieth century, and Of One Blood is the last of four novels she wrote.Mixed-race medical student Reuel Briggs doesn't give a damn about being Black and cares less for African history.
