DARKWATER Voices from within the Veil

Meer over het boek

The collection features essays, poems, and reflections by W.E.B. Du Bois, tackling race and the socio-political climate of the early 20th century. Du Bois explores the concept of the "shade line" that separates races and critiques systemic racism in America. The title, "Dark Water," symbolizes the depths of racial inequality, urging readers to confront hidden societal issues. This work not only addresses the African American experience but also engages with global themes of racism and imperialism, making it a vital contribution to African American literature and social justice discourse.
