Description

The Souls of Black Folk is a classic work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology, and a cornerstone of African-American literary history.To develop this groundbreaking work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African-American in the American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology. Read more

An amazing little book....
Format: Paperback
Amazon, why in the world do you require me to choose whether The Souls of Black Folk was "predictable" had "some twists" or was "full of surprises" - those descriptions are totally inappropriate. But if I didn't choose one then I wasn't allowed to write a review and I very much wanted to. What an amazing book. It is a slim read, and while some of it is clearly relevant to the times in which he lived, so much of it sounds like it could be written today. For those of us who will never know what it's like to be a minority and looked down upon or treated as "different", it is a revelation, a poignant insight into the everyday lives and tribulations of black Americans (and I suspect increasingly how foreigners are also being treated) It is touching, and also inspiring - it moves you to do more and to stand up and be counted. It is a wonderful book, and I recommend it for any reader, especially teenagers who will never learn about this in history class. because if we don't know our past, how can we possibly understand our present, or improve our future? ... show more

It is heardbreaking to know that people have had to tolerate such mistreatment!
Format: Paperback
EVERYONE, regardless of race, should carefully read this most important of literary works by W.E.B. Dubois, a leader of the "humanity" movement. As a white man, it is important to try to get a sense of what it was, and sometimes still is, like to be treated as less than human. This is only a taste of what it is like to be considered second class. The whites today who complain that they are mistreated don't have a clue how the REALLY FEELS! Please, everyone read this and pass it along. ... show more

Format: Paperback
Knowing that this work was actually written in the 19th century I still thought it would be a valuable perspective with applicability to today. It has that. Some of the writing is in an old, indirect style but not the bulk of it. It seems to be a valid and truthful history of what happened to black people post civil war. I have not read it all yet, but I haven't found a whole lot so far in terms of spirituality. That may unfold more in the later part of the book. This history is very pertinent to our current time. ... show more

Souls of Black Folk
Format: Paperback
It is a selection of essays about life for Black people during the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War. So enlightening of how difficult life was for the emancipated slaves. W.E.B. DuBois is a fabulous writer, but not for someone who struggles with reading. His writing is definitely for senior High School, and college level readers. Beautiful, beautiful writing. Our book club reads something about Black history, or a book written by a Black author every February to improve our minds and understanding. Our group consists of 4 White people, 2 Indian (from India) people, one Asian person, and we all loved reading the book .Ignorance, Power, Bigotry are a horrible combination. ... show more
