The collection features essays, poems, and reflections by W.E.B. Du Bois, tackling race and the socio-political climate of the early 20th century.

The title, "Dark Water," symbolizes the depths of racial inequality, urging readers to confront hidden societal issues. This work not only addresses the African American experience but also engages with global themes of racism and imperialism, making it a vital contribution to African American literature and social justice discourse.
