The Souls of Black Folk : 9781640322684

Complete edition of The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois. A foundational work of civil rights and required reading on race relations in America, Du Bois combines dignity with respect, achieving a book of power even after 100 years.

"Herein lie buried many things which if read with patience may show the strange meaning of being black here at the dawning of the Twentieth Century.... I have sought here to sketch, in vague, uncertain outline, the spiritual world in which ten thousand thousand Americans live and strive."

All students of thought should get this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.
