Very dissapointing from from a Sci-Fi perspective. There was no attempt at explanation detailing catstrophic events taking place or the broader social consequences.
Rather the story focuses on the racist views of the white antagonist. More importantly how those feelings are changed depending on whether society is watching or not.
With the understanding that the story is significant in Sci-Fi, being written by a socially influential black man in the 1920. It should be read more for it's perspectives on racism in America from Dubois understanding rather than it's significance in the world of Sci-Fi in general.
Regarding insight into to Dubois it is an important piece.
