Product Description

This isn't the Du Bois you read about in school. Written after Souls of Black Folk, this book presents a more fiery and controversial side of the famed W. E. B. Du Bois. In Darkwater, Du Bois experiments with presentation, jumping from sociopolitical essays to poetry and science fiction. His perspectives are also groundbreaking and ahead of their time (and perhaps ours). He argues against religious ignorance, advocates for the upliftment of women, analyzes "whiteness," prophecizes massive social collapse, and promotes the idea that the darker people of the globe may be the world's salvation.

Reviews

“Like Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois's masterpiece Darkwater is filled with brilliant ideas and experimental methodology. Beginning with autobiography and ending with a chilling science fiction story about the destruction of Manhattan, Du Bois provides pathbreaking sociological analysis."
– Historian J.R. Feagin (2003)
