When I was living in the Berkshires I asked for this book through inter-library loan. The copy I received looked like it had been through a meat grinder, similar to the broke down appearance of the Du Bois country home in Great Barrington, a piece of property owned by the university of Massachusetts. Following on the heels of the big anti-Iraq war demo in NYC, some of us thought it would be fitting to have an anti war march through South Egremont ending at the Du Bois site. We had various speakers lined up including a local minister and an old panther. Apparently the local police chief did not agree because she made sure our little march was hounded by a few of her drunk relatives. Earlier in the day an old fart living next door to “that commie Du Bois”, as he put it, had threatened me with a shotgun from his front porch. I should have taken that as a sign. After our little march ended on a dark and rainy note I was followed home by a tie dyed undercover and 2 weeks later a new resident showed up in the downstairs apartment. I moved out shortly thereafter only to discover a year down the road my new temporary home in Otis had been bugged. I never finished reading the Du Bois tome.
