The Souls of Black Folk

By W. E. B. Du Bois

About this book

Du Bois brings essays, history, personal recollection, and references to spirituals together in a study of Black life after emancipation. He writes about the Freedmen’s Bureau, education, and the pressure to see oneself through the eyes of others. The range of forms matters to his argument about whose experiences count as knowledge.
