The Souls of Black Folk

More about the book

W. E. B. Du Bois's collection of essays provides profound insights into black history and the ongoing struggles of African Americans post-emancipation. As a pivotal figure in early twentieth-century activism, Du Bois argues that racial inequality remains a central issue, famously stating that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line." His essays cover a wide range of topics, including sociological studies and discussions on religion and music, making them essential for understanding the black experience in America today.
