  • Darkwater: Voices From Within The Veil

    W. E. B. Du Bois

    Paperback (Independently published, Jan. 21, 2020)
    These are the things of which men think, who live: of their own selves and the dwelling place of their fathers; of their neighbors; of work and service; of rule and reason and women and children; of Beauty and Death and War. To this thinking I have only to add a point of view: I have been in the world, but not of it. I have seen the human drama from a veiled corner, where all the outer tragedy and comedy have reproduced themselves in microcosm within. From this inner torment of souls the human scene without has interpreted itself to me in unusual and even illuminating ways. For this reason, and this alone, I venture to write again on themes on which great souls have already said greater words, in the hope that I may strike here and there a half-tone, newer even if slighter, up from the heart of my problem and the problems of my people.Between the sterner flights of logic, I have sought to set some little alightings of what may be poetry. They are tributes to Beauty, unworthy to stand alone; yet perversely, in my mind, now at the end, I know not whether I mean the Thought for the Fancy—or the Fancy for the Thought, or why the book trails off to playing, rather than standing strong on unanswering fact. But this is alway—is it not?—the Riddle of Life.- Taken from "Darkwater: Voices From Within The Veil" written by W. E. B. Du Bois

    eBook
    Darkwater: Voices From Within the Veil is a literary work by W.E.B. Du Bois. Published in 1920, the writing incorporates autobiographical information as well as essays, spirituals, and poems that were all written by Du Bois himself.Several of its essays are personal in nature, with obvious emotional rhetoric. The style maintains a religious tone and his spirituality is a central thread in many of the individual essays. Described in varying tones of black and brown, a Christ-like figure of racial hope is prevalent, signifying the coming moment of racial confrontation and eventual salvation. This figure is one which Du Bois characterizes as the bearer of eternal freedom from discrimination, poverty, and from the color line itself. The stories within Darkwater also revolve around discontent with the way that democracy was viewed and handled among people of different ethnic, racial, and social groups.This edition has been formatted for your Kindle, with an active table of contents. This edition is also annotated, with an overview, writing, credo, reception, biographical and bibliographical information.
