A translation of the Brazilian classic O Presidente Negro ou O Choque das Raças, by Lobato Monteiro. The plot involves a young man and woman in Brazil who use a high-tech scope that can see into the future. They follow events in the United States in the year 2228 as Black and white voters vie to elect a president of their own race. It's close until a feminist candidate pits men against women regardless of race. The book, originally published in 1926, is prescient in many ways, from technology to racism and identity politics.
