Overview
āDu Bois essentially defined black America in the twentieth century.ā
ā Ta-Nehisi Coates
āI have been in the world, but not of it,ā begins this searing and passionate book by legendary scholar W.E.B. Du Bois. A continuation of his celebrated work The Souls of Black Folk, Darkwater describes the devastation of segregation, slavery, and the global color line that veiled half the worldās people in shadow.Ā
First published in 1920, Darkwater gives voice to the rising power of the ādarker racesā around the world; it frames Africaās blistering indictment of Europe in a study of the curious and twisted souls of white folk; and it includes Du Boisās landmark essay āThe Damnation of Women,ā in which he explores gender inequality and the double burdens forced onto black women. Combining essays and analysis with poetry, allegory, and short fiction, Darkwater is an angry and eloquent argument that, as Du Bois writes, āa belief in humanity is a belief in colored men.ā
This beautiful edition includes a new introduction from award-winning poet and novelist HonorƩe Fanonne Jeffers and a historical preface by historian Manning Marable.
