Darkwater: Voices From Within The Veil
Darkwater: Voices From Within The Veil, published in 1920, is a powerful blend of autobiography, essays, and poetry that addresses the complex realities of race, gender, and class in early 20th-century America. Written during a time of heightened racial tensions, Du Bois's work explores his personal experiences and broader social issues, offering sharp critiques of racism and colonialism. He speaks directly to readers about the injustices faced by Black Americans and other oppressed people worldwide, providing a profound look into the 'veil' of racial prejudice. Darkwater remains a foundational text for understanding systemic inequality.
