The Souls of Black Folk went on to profoundly influence the civil rights movement in the US, inspiring post-colonial thinking worldwide. The Souls of Black Folk is a series of essays (some of which had been previously published) in which William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (pronounced due byss). Du Bois: 9780375509117 : Books Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time When first published in 1903, W.E.B. Du Bois identified three significant issues (‘the color line’ ‘double consciousness’ and ‘the veil’) that acted as roadblocks to true black emancipation, and showed how each of these in turn contributed to the problem of inequality.ĭu Bois carefully investigates all three problems, constructing clear explanations of their significance in shaping the consciousness of a community that has been systematically discriminated against, and dealing brilliantly with counter-arguments throughout. One of the most important texts ever written on racism and black identity in America, the work contains powerful arguments that illustrate the problem of the position of black people in the US at the turn of the 20th-century. W.E.B Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk is a seminal work in the field of sociology, a classic of American literature – and a solid example of carefully-structured reasoning. The Souls of Black Folk, Essays and Sketches (1903) is a cornerstone of African American Literature.

I thought maybe she should read the book herself and pay particular attention to the energy exchange part!! That's the only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me - it arrived on Christmas Eve so I'd already sent the other copy to Australia and kept this one for myself. I can always think of someone else who 'should read this' when I've read it so I'm guessing that this copy too will be passed on & I'll be back for another!! Had a bit of an issue with the seller as my copy didn't arrive very quickly & I was intending to send it to a friend in Australia - going on the estimated delivery time on my account, bearing in mind I was busy with christmas & didn't check the date I'd purchased the book on the reply I got from the seller was a bit rude. An intriguing & thought provoking look at life and human evolution, whatever your religious/spiritual beliefs may be, told in a fictional story form with a great adventure unfolding on every page. Bought this copy for a friend and another (from a different seller) for myself as I've already had 2 copies but have passed them on to other people - it's one of those books that you can't put down and once you start reading you have to read on to see what's going to happen next.
