The Souls of Black Folk

First published in 1903, this extraordinary work not only recorded and explained history, it helped to alter its course. Written after Du Bois had earned a Ph.D. from Harvard and studied in Berlin, these fourteen essays contain both the academic language of sociology and the rich lyrics of African Spirituals, which Du Bois called "sorrow songs". Often revealingly autobiographical, Du Bois writes on topics as diverse as the death of his infant son and the politics of Booker T. Washington. In every case, he shows the consequences of both a political color line and an internal one, as he grapples with the contradictions of being black and being American. What emerges is a manifesto for a new class of African-American intellectuals and a transcendent vision for change. One of the century's most influential books, "The Souls of Black Folk" reflects the mind of a man who was a fomenter of ideas and inspired generations of readers to remember the past, question the status quo, and fight for a just tomorrow.
