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.

Produktbeschreibung
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 of Black Folk was a dramatic event that helped to polarize black leaders into two groups: the more conservative followers of Washington and the more radical supporters of aggressive protest. Its influence cannot be overstated. It is essential reading for everyone interested in African-American history and the struggle for civil rights in America
Autorenporträt
W. E. B. Du Bois (1868 - 1963) was a scholar, activist, sociologist, and one of the most influential voices in American history. A co-founder of the NAACP, editor of The Crisis magazine, and the first Black man to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University, Du Bois transformed the way the world understood race, identity, and justice.His groundbreaking works-The Souls of Black Folk, Black Reconstruction in America, and Dark Princess-combined intellectual power with poetic vision, confronting the realities of racism, class, and colonialism with unmatched insight and courage.Dark Princess marked a bold turn in Du Bois's career. It fused his Pan-African ideals, his commitment to social equality, and his belief in the transformative power of love. Through its daring combination of romance and revolution, Du Bois envisioned a global alliance of the oppressed-a theme that continues to resonate with readers of African American literature, post-colonial studies, and social justice movements worldwide.A towering figure of the Harlem Renaissance, Du Bois devoted his life to the pursuit of freedom, dignity, and education for all. His legacy endures as that of a visionary thinker and literary pioneer whose words still challenge and inspire readers across generations.
