<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Sweeping across African American history and culture in the shadow of slavery and ongoing racism, <i>The Souls of Black Folk</i> laid bare challenging issues sadly still relevant more than 100 years after its first publication.</b><p/> <p>This collection of 14 essays is a cornerstone work of African-American literature. The author examines history and the social conditions of his era, balancing his observations with philosophical asides and autobiographical insights. He describes the central issue of the 20th century as "the problem of the color line" --a divide both visible and invisible, a veil between blacks and the white world that needs to be broken through before those on either side of it can truly know one another. He describes the tension arising from being both black and American as a dual consciousness, a unique identity which had long been a disadvantage but could conceivably become a source of strength. First published in 1903, this profoundly influential text is an acclamation of human rights, a condemnation of the systems that infringe upon them, and one of the most significant books to contribute to the cause of racial equality in US history.</p> <p>With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of <i>The Souls of Black Folk</i> is both modern and readable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Souls of Black Folk</i> by <b>W.E.B. Du Bois</b> combines history, philosophy and autobiography in a groundbreaking examination of black Americans and their position in American society. An incisive look at how African Americans had to adapt to a hostile world and a fiercely powerful condemnation of racism fuel this uncompromising yet hopeful classic.</p>
