    William Edward Burghardt "W. E. B." Du Bois (1868-1963) was a leading African-American sociologist, writer and activist. Educated at Harvard University and other top schools, Du Bois studied with some of the most important social thinkers of his time. He earned fame for the publication of such works as Souls of Black Folk (1903), and was a founding officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and editor of its magazine. Dubois also taught at Wilberforce University and Atlanta University, and chaired the Peace Information Center. Shortly before his death, Du Bois settled in Ghana to work on the Encyclopedia Africana.

    Afrofuturismen er en relativt ny strømning indenfor fantastisk litteratur, der giver stemme til forfattere fra den afrikanske diaspora – det vil sige efterkommere af de afrikanere, der i sin tid blev bortført med vold og gjort til slaver, især i USA. Det er en litteratur der synliggør forholdene, både i historisk perspektiv og som de tager sig ud i dag. Den gør det på fantastisk vis, det vil sige ved at skrive om fremtiden, om rummet, om mystiske væsner og om ganske almindelige mennesker i specielle situationer.Denne bog er den første antologi på dansk, der præsenterer afrofuturistisk science fiction – og, da der er en vis uenighed om definitionen, også ”det der ligner”. Antologien præsenterer bl.a. en af de første forløbere for afrofuturismen i form af en post-apokalyptisk novelle fra 1920’erne; markante noveller fra forfattere som de nye afrofuturister har taget som deres forbilleder; samt historier om tid og rum, kloning, virtual reality (og sex!), tidsrejser, kunst og sameksistensen med aliens.Alle historierne er science fiction af den gode slags, der underholder under læsningen, men samtidig giver stof til eftertanke. For ud over den umiddelbare handling og de interessante personer, lægger de op til overvejelser, fx om hvordan vi tænker på andre (enkeltindivider, grupper, etniske konstellationer), på samfundet og på intet mindre end universet.Octavia Butler: BlodbarnNalo Hopkinson: Ganger (Kuglelyn)Linda D.

    In The Souls of Black Folk the sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois introduced the concept of the ¿veil,¿ a separation of the inner lives of black Americans from their white counterparts. Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil is a collection of essays, poems, and short fiction that attempts to provide a nuanced look behind the veil at the lives of black Americans and to give voice to their often neglected concerns.Written in the aftermath of the First World War, seventeen years after The Souls of Black Folk and during a time when racial tension had been codified into the infamous Jim Crow laws, Du Bois touches on a wide range of topics, from the philosophical to the concrete. His over-arching message is a desire for equality. He argues strongly against colonialism, excessive materialism, and Jim Crow, and discusses how only proper education and universal suffrage can provide the foundation for a more fair society. The unique combination of different writing styles on display vividly captures both his frustration and his belief in the possibility of a future shared on an equal basis between people of all colors.

    W. E. B. Du Bois's groundbreaking social study of black Americans living in Philadelphia at the end of the 1800s remains an outstanding and thorough example of sociology.Using knowledge gained from research of black neighborhoods during his time at the University of Pennsylvania, Du Bois was determined to create an all-embracing profile of urban black American society. Some three years of intensive research, interviews, and statistical gathering went into The Philadelphia Negro; it revealed endemic social prejudices and the abject poverty which many black Americans endured. The area studied was the Seventh Ward - a borough of Philadelphia which included the impoverished black ghetto, the striving middle-classes, and even affluent whites.For Du Bois, the root causes of the social divide were ingrained negative perceptions towards black Americans, such as the notion that black workers are innately dishonest or indolent. Incidents of racial discrimination, whereby blacks in a line of business or seeking employ are turned aside on the basis of skin color, are numerous. More positively, the author unearthed multiple appraisals from those who had employed black workers - some only as a last resort - who became very impressed at their employee's diligence, ability and passion.Spanning the education, recreation, work, housing and environment conditions, and much more besides, The Philadelphia Negro remains a landmark text of sociology.

    Few figures are more seminal in the abolitionist movement in America than John Brown. His firebrand approach to the movement arose out of his religiously inspired and deep-seated belief that slavery was not only morally unjust but that its removal from American society could only be achieved through armed insurrection. Following his capture in 1859 during an unsuccessful raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry and his subsequent hanging he became an electrifying and symbolical figure for the abolitionist movement. Many historians argue that the incident at Harpers Ferry was the breaking point between pro and anti-slavery forces that led to the secession of the southern states and the subsequent Civil War. Prominent African American W. E. B. Du Bois chronicles the life of John Brown in this 1909 biography. In the words of Du Bois, John Brown was "a man whose leadership lay not in his office, wealth or influence, but in the white flame of his utter devotion to an ideal." This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

    "Between the sterner flights of logic, I have sought to set some little alightings of what may be poetry. They are tributes to Beauty, unworthy to stand alone; yet perversely, in my mind, now at the end, I know not whether I mean the Thought for the Fancy-or the Fancy for the Thought, or why the book trails off to playing, rather than standing strong on unanswering fact. But this is alway-is it not?-the Riddle of Life." Contents: - Credo - The Shadow of Year - A Litany at Atlanta - The Souls of White Folk - The Riddle of the Sphinx - The Hands of Ethiopia - The Princess of the Hither Isles - Of Work and Wealth - The Second Coming - "The Servant in the House" - Jesus Christ in Texas - Of the Ruling of Men - The Call - The Damnation of Women - Children of the Moon - The Immortal Child - Almighty Death - Of Beauty and Death - The Prayers of God - The Comet - A Hymn to the Peoples
