Black Water: Voices from the Veil
About This Novel
In 1920, Du Bois published the first of his three autobiographies, "Black Water: Voices from the Veil." Du Bois believed that a veil obscured the true appearance of people of color around the world. He hoped to use this book to lift this veil and show white readers the true life of black people. At the same time, he also hoped to explain how this veil distorted the way blacks and whites observed each other. As an integral part of American society, the author talks about the discrimination and ridicule of black people by some white people in the United States in this book, compares it with the situation in the European world, and points out the reasons for this problem. Not only that, the author also puts forward his own views on solving the current situation of black people, such as achieving fair distribution of educational resources. This book also includes Du Bois's feminist essay "The Damnation of Women." In the article, Du Bois praised the dignity and value of women, especially black women.
