E. B. Du Bois is a masterpiece in the African American canon. Du Bois, arguably the most influential African American leader of the early twentieth century, offers insightful commentary on black history, racism, and the struggles of black Americans following emancipation. In his groundbreaking work, the author presciently writes that \u201cthe problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,\u201d and offers powerful arguments for the absolute necessity of moral, social, political, and economic equality. These essays on the black experience in America range from sociological studies of the African American community to illuminating discourses on religion and \u201cNegro music,\u201d and remain essential reading in our so-called \u201cpost-racial age.\u201d A new introduction by Jonathan Scott Holloway explores Du Bois\u2019s signature accomplishments while helping readers to better understand his writings in the context of his time as well as ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Souls of Black Folk Yale University Press 2015-06-30 (Originally published in 1903) 240 pages 18 b\/w illus. 5 1\/2 x 8 1\/4 Paper ISBN: 9780300195828 W.
