Du Bois weaves autofiction with poetry, social essay, science fiction, and Afrofuturist storytelling that presages Butler, Due, Adjei-Brenyah, Shawl, and Jemisin. Three wise men gather as a Christ child of color is born in a Georgia shanty; a reflection on World War I reframes its bloody legacy against the wages of Western imperialism; a deadly race riot in the streets of East St. Louis on the eve of the Fourth of July is revisited as part of a long continuum of exploited inequities, workers' rights violations, and race hatred; and a post-apocalyptic New York finds a Black man and white woman, possibly the last two people on Earth, on the verge of a new reckoning. Du Bois plunges twenty-first century readers into his protean and mysterious text, one that begs us to examine how the Black American experience has changed these last hundred years--and how it remains the same. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published in 1920, \u003ci\u003eDarkwater\u003c\/i\u003e is reprinted here in a luxurious new hardcover edition, with full-page illustrations by Jamiel Law. \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Of the Diaspora","offers":[{"title":"Darkwater | W.
