Episode description
W.E.B. Du Bois’s Darkwater offers a multifaceted exploration of race, identity, and social justice in early 20th-century America. The work blends autobiographical reflections on Du Bois’s upbringing and experiences with powerful essays addressing the plight of Black Americans. Du Bois fearlessly confronts issues like racial prejudice, economic exploitation, and the global dimensions of white supremacy. He also critiques the limitations of democracy and calls for radical social change through education, enfranchisement, and international solidarity. The text also contains stories and prayers that further reinforce the themes of identity, oppression, and salvation. Finally, there is an excerpt from the Project Gutenberg license, which dictates the terms of use and redistribution of their digitized literary works, emphasizing free access and proper attribution.
