| Summary: | "First published in 1920, this collection of essays, fiction, and poetry by Du Bois addresses questions of race, class, and gender ... The collection begins with an autobiographical essay, before moving to such matters as the impoverishment of Africa at the hands of European colonialism; the necessity of abandoning elite ownership of the means of production in order to achieve full emancipation; the importance of expanding women's economic, political, and procreation rights; and his usual trenchant observations on American racism and the institutional legacy of slavery"--BookNews, Inc. (2003) In "Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil," W.E.B. Du Bois puts forth a masterpiece of social and political thought. Some of his most important and controversial ideas on race, class and gender are contained in this book. Published in 1920, this daring collection of fiery essays, poetry and short fiction challenged the prevailing views on important social issues. |
