The Souls of Black Folk: One Hundred Years Later

Published in 1903, The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois was a landmark achievement, moving American philosophy beyond the structures of pragmatism and positivism as it addressed new questions about American social and political history. One hundred years later, Du Bois's classic from a variety of disciplines--aesthetics, art history, classics, communications, history, literature, music, political science, and psychology--remains a pivotal text in the American understanding of the black experience, and this important collection investigates this indispensable text.
