E. B. Du Bois"Review"Many passages of the book will be very interesting to the student of the negro character who regards the race ethnologically and not politically, not as a dark cloud threatening the future of the United States, but as a peculiar people, and one, after all, but little understood by the best of its friends or the worst of its enemies..." "The book is of curious warp and woof, and the poetical form of the title is the index to much of its content and phraseology....Many passages of the book will be very interesting to the student of the negro character who regards the race ethnologically and not politically, not as a dark cloud threatening the future of the United States, but as a peculiar people, and one, after all, but little understood by the best of its friends or the worst of its enemies outside of what the author of THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK is fond of calling the "Awful Veil." Publisher's notePublished in 1903, W E. B. Du Bois's revolutionary collection of essays changed our perception of the African American experience. The text of this Norton Critical Edition is that of the first hook edition, which has been annotated. "Contexts" reprints an intriguing collection of political and biographical documents related to The Souls of Black Folk, sure to stimulate classroom discussion. In addition, the editors have included the eighteen thought-provoking photographs that accompanied Du Bois's 1901 article "The Negro As He Really Is." AnnotationAn eloquent collection of essays, first published in 1903, that has stood the test of time as one of the most thoughtful and prophetic texts in American letters on the subject of race and racism. DuBois is particularly severe on the consequences of the moderate philosophies of Booker T. Washington, and advocates a bolder stance, including the right to vote, civic equality, and the education of black youth. If You Enjoy "The Souls of Black Folk (Paperback)", May We Also Recommend:
