The Souls Of Black Folk

W.E.B. Du Bois

The Souls of Black Folk, published in 1903, is a seminal work in African American literature and sociology. In this collection of essays, Du Bois explores the struggles, aspirations, and identity of Black Americans at the dawn of the 20th century. He introduces the concept of 'double consciousness,' describing the internal conflict faced by Black individuals trying to reconcile their African heritage with an American identity shaped by racism. Through personal anecdotes, sociological analysis, and cultural critique, Du Bois challenges prevailing notions of race and advocates for equality, making this book a cornerstone in the study of race in America.
