After decades of obscurity, this literary jewel is presented with a new introduction written by David Levering Lewis, author of "W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919" and "W.E.B. Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963; " Lewis is the foremost scholar of the work of Du Bois.
"If "The Souls of Black Folk" achieved its singular impact through W.E.B. Du Bois's masterly interweaving of the personal and the universal in such a way that each appropriated something of the illustrative and symbolic value of the other, much of "Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil" was a cri de coeur in which the author's anger at the absurdities of racial prejudice crackled through the text like electric jolts that scorched, illumined, or stunned."
