Description:

This book is the masterpiece of African-American thought. Published in 1903, this collection of essays written by DuBois quickly became a cornerstone for future black progressives who wanted to change American society since the days of the American Civil War. Every essay in this book is a perfect example of intellectual prowess, expressive and amazing language, and astonishing journey into the conditions of America's black population. Over and over, author calls it the way he sees it and there is no rage or hysterical claims in his words. DuBois's writings are the prototypes of consecutive, reasoned analysis. He aims not to divide but to reveal, not to create divisions but understanding. This is a ‘must-read’ for everyone interested in race relations and intellectual history. DuBois never saw the struggle for civil rights in the 1960's or its continuing legacy to modern days. This book explains the underpinnings of that movement. Through intellectual examination, excellent prose, and an steadfast belief in what is right and wrong, DuBois's contributions continue to resonate nowadays. Most of the problems, raised by DuBois are still important today, and this is a tribute to the man, not only as a scholar, but as someone who was continually adapting his views in the best image and interests of black people.
