The Souls of Black Folk

In The Souls of Black Folk, W. E. B. Du Bois moves between history, sociology, autobiography, criticism, fiction, and music to examine Black American life at the beginning of the twentieth century. His accounts of the color line and double consciousness remain central to American intellectual history. This Andre Ford annotated edition returns to the 1903 text, preserving its structure and historical language while offering editorial context for its political, literary, religious, and musical references.
