Du Bois, one of the most celebrated intellectuals of the twentieth century, published \u003ci\u003eDarkwater\u003c\/i\u003e -- a powerful collection of essays, verse and fiction -- in 1920, two decades after his most famous book, \u003ci\u003eThe Souls of Black Folk.\u003c\/i\u003e Throughout his long life and extraordinary career as a scholar, activist, writer and educator, Du Bois's body of work illumined America's understanding of the \"problem of the color line.\" While much of his early texts were sociological investigations of the Black community, the author increasingly incorporated autobiographical, poetic and spiritual elements into his works. The results are some of the most electrifying commentaries ever written on race and class in America. \u003cbr\u003e After decades of obscurity, this literary jewel is presented with a new introduction written by David Levering Lewis, author of \u003ci\u003eW.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eW.E.B.
