The Souls of Black Folk - (Mint Editions (Black Narratives)) by W E B Du Bois

The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B.

Du Bois is a groundbreaking examination of black Americans and their position in American society, combining history, philosophy, and autobiography.

This cornerstone work of African-American literature explores the central issue of the 20th century - the problem of the color line - and how it divides both visible and invisible barriers between blacks and the white world.

Du Bois describes this tension as a dual consciousness, a unique identity that has long been a disadvantage but could conceivably become a source of strength.

This influential text is an acclamation of human rights, a condemnation of systems that infringe upon them, and one of the most significant books to contribute to the cause of racial equality in US history.

With a modern and readable format, this edition of The Souls of Black Folk is sure to inspire and educate readers on the important issues of race and identity.
