The Souls of Black Folk

by: W.E.B. DuBois

ISBN: 0486280411

 

 

First published in 1903, it has been heralded as setting the cornerstone for African-American protest literature.  These essays established W.E.B. DuBois as an intellectual who posited meritorious questions regarding the treatment of black Americans, the failings of post Civil War society and regarding the tragic betrayal of the freed slaves--by the Union. The unfulfilled promise of 40 acres and a mule, resound amid the racism, inequality, poverty and degradation of turn of the century America.  DuBois' passionate reason instills in me, a white man, with an unequivocal repugnance for the injustice that has been inflicted on men of a different color, simply because they were black. One cannot read this book without being left with a respect for DuBois' intellect and his humanity.
