# 2024-07-21 - Of One Blood by Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins
To use pop culture references, this book reminded me of the
Black Panther movie and also of Indiana Jones. I enjoyed the
elements of adventure and travel in this story. The protagonist is a
white-passing African American man named Reuel, which is Hebrew for
Friend Of God. The book brings to mind the Lost World genre, and i
read it described as Afrotopian. It was a relatively quick read.

From the Wikipedia article about this novel:
The novel's title was inspired by Acts 17:26 in the Bible:
> Of one blood I made all nations of man to dwell upon the whole face
> of the earth (...) No man can draw the dividing line between the
> two races, for they are both of one blood!
And to quote the novel itself:
> Caste prejudice, race pride, boundless wealth, scintillating
> intellects refined by all the arts of the intellectual world, are
> but puppets in His hand, for His promises stand, and He will prove
> His words, "Of one blood have I made all races of men."
