First published in 1903, this collection of 15 essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in Americaand to demand an end to it. Du Bois writing draws on his early experiences, from teaching in the hills of Tennessee, to the death of his infant son, to his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington. Du Bois received a doctorate from Harvard in 1895 and became a professor of economics and history at Atlanta University. His dynamic leadership in the cause of social reform on behalf of his fellow blacks anticipated and inspired much of the black activism of the 1960s. The Souls of Black Folk is a classic in the literature of civil rights. Critic Reviews: Thanks to W. E. B. Du Bois commitment and foresight - and the intellectual excellence expressed in this timeless literary gem - black Americans can today look in the mirror and rejoice in their beautiful black, brown, and beige reflections.
