The verdict
Darkwater
GOOD PRICE.
This is a collection of essays, sketches, and poems by W. E. B. Du Bois that were originally published separately in magazines and journals around the early 1900s. The pieces cover social, political, and economic issues affecting Black Americans and reflect Du Bois's perspectives as a historian, politician, and artist, making it a foundational text for anyone studying African American history and civil rights.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- These are historical pieces from the early 20th century, so the language and some references will feel dated compared to modern writing.
- The collection brings together work that was scattered across different publications, so you get a fuller picture of Du Bois's thinking on race and society in one place.
- This is a Dover edition, which means it's an affordable reprint of a classic text rather than a new scholarly edition with extensive notes.
As of Aug 30, the Darkwater is a good price at $5.50 — versus a $6.54 typical price and a $4.47 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
