Publisher Description
W.E.B. Du Bois said, on the launch of his groundbreaking 1903 treatise, The Souls of Black Folk, "for the problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color-line", a prescient statement. Setting out to show to the audience "the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the 20th century", Du Bois explains the meaning of the emancipation, and its effect, and his views on the roles of the leaders of his race.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful, but...
This is an AMAZING collection of essays by Du Bois, however, the narrator sounds bored and uninterested which is the exact opposite of how he should sound like. Plus, this is expensive. Just buy it at a bookstore and read it for yourself--the ideas, stories, and theories in this book will amaze you.
An American Classis
This is an American Classic which should be read by all Americans.
Remarkable and poetic
Reads like poetry
Should be required reading in us history class
