Chance Meetings: Saidiya Hartman on W.E.B. Du Bois's "Darkwater" + Special Pricing Inside!

The Authors Guild Foundation is excited to present Chance Meetings, a new online literary seminar inspired by Rachel Cohen’s A Chance Meeting, a dazzling group biography that offers a striking vision of the making and remaking of the American mind and imagination from the Civil War to the Vietnam War.

We are pleased to announce that our customers can attend at a special price of $25 per ticket, instead of the regular price of $40. Check out the official page on the Authors Guild website, select the online seminar you'd like to attend, and enter the code CMDISC at checkout to get your special price.

The next seminar will take place on Sept. 5, 12:30 PM EST, where Saidiya Hartman will focus on W.E.B. Du Bois's Darkwater. 

"I have been in the world, but not of it," begins this searing and passionate book by legendary scholar W.E.B. Du Bois. A continuation of his celebrated work The Souls of Black Folk, Darkwater describes the devastation of segregation, slavery, and the global color line that veiled half the world's people in shadow.
