W. E. B. Du Bois and The Souls of Black Folk - Stephanie J. Shaw - Bog

Brings a new understanding to one of the great documents of American and black history. While most scholarly discussions of The Souls of Black Folk focus on the veils, the colour line, double consciousness, or Booker T. Washington, Stephanie J. Shaw reads Du Bois' book as a profoundly nuanced interpretation of the souls of black Americans at the turn of the twentieth century.
