W. E. B. Du Bois was the pre-eminent African American intellectual
of the twentieth century. As a pioneering historian, sociologist
and civil rights activist, and as a novelist and autobiographer, he
made the problem of race central to an understanding of the United
States within both national and transnational contexts; his
masterwork The Souls of Black Folk (1903) is today among the most
widely read and most often quoted works of American literature.
This Companion presents ten specially commissioned essays by an
international team of scholars which explore key aspects of Du
Bois's work. The book offers students a critical introduction to Du
Bois, as well as opening new pathways into the further study of his
remarkable career. It will be of interest to all those working in
African American studies, American literature, and American studies
generally.
