"As visually arresting as it is informative."-The Boston Globe "Du
Bois's bold colors and geometric shapes were decades ahead of
modernist graphic design in America."-Fast Company's Co.Design
W.E.B. Du Bois's Data Portraits is the first complete publication
of W.E.B. Du Bois's groundbreaking charts, graphs, and maps
presented at the 1900 Paris Exposition. Famed sociologist, writer,
and Black rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois fundamentally changed the
representation of Black Americans with his exhibition of data
visualizations at the 1900 Paris Exposition. Beautiful in design
and powerful in content, these data portraits make visible a wide
spectrum of African American culture, from advances in education to
the lingering effects of slavery. They convey a literal and
figurative representation of what he famously referred to as "the
color line," collected here in full color for the first time. A
landmark collection for social history, graphic design, and data
science. * Data display, visualizations, and infographics far ahead
of their time * Colorful graphs and charts are mesmerizing pieces
of art in their own right * A valuable companion to W.E. B. Du
Bois's The Souls of Black Folk * Includes contributions from Aldon
Morris, Silas Munro, and Mabel O. Wilson W.E.B. Du Bois's Data
Portraits is an informative and provocative history, data, and
graphic design book that continues to resonate with audiences
today.
