The Souls of Black Folk W.E.B. Du Bois
ISBN: 9780451532053 Год издания: 2012 Издательство: Signet Classics Язык: Английский First published in 1903, this extraordinary work not only recorded and explained history—it helped alter its course. Written after Du Bois had earned his Ph.D. from Harvard and studied in Berlin, these fourteen essays contain both the academic language of sociology and the rich lyricism of African spirituals, which Du Bois called “sorrow songs.” Often revealingly autobiographical, DuBois explores topics as diverse as the death of his infant son and the politics of Booker T. Washington. In every essay, he shows the consequences of both a political color line and an internal one, as he grapples with the contradictions of being black and…

ISBN: 9780199555833 Год издания: 2008 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский Originally published in 1903, The Souls of Black Folk is a classic study of race, culture, and education at the turn of the twentieth century.

The Souls of Black Folk W. E. B. Du Bois
ISBN: 978-0486280417 Год издания: 1994 Издательство: Dover Publications Язык: Английский This landmark book is a founding work in the literature of black protest. W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) played a key role in developing the strategy and program that dominated early 20th-century black protest in America. In this collection of essays, first published together in 1903, he eloquently affirms that it is beneath the dignity of a human being to beg for those rights that belong inherently to all mankind. He also charges that the strategy of accommodation to white supremacy advanced by Booker T. Washington, then the most influential black leader in America, would only serve to perpetuate black oppression. Publication of The Souls…

The Souls of Black Folk W. E. B. Du Bois
ISBN: 9780679428022, 067942802X Год издания: 1993 Издательство: Everyman's Library Язык: Английский “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” Thus speaks W.E.B. Du Bois in The Souls Of Black Folk, one of the most prophetic and influental works in American literature. In this eloquent collection of essays, first published in 1903, Du Bois dares as no one has before to describe the magnitude of American racism and demand an end to it. He draws on his own life for illustration, from his early experiences teaching in the hills of Tennessee to the death of his infant son and his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington. Far ahead of its time, The Souls Of Black Folk both…
