Souls of Black Folk

1994 softcover printing of “Souls of Black Folk” by W.E.B. Dubois. In good used condition. Wear and yellowing of pages consistent with age and use.

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.
