The Gift of Black Folk (1924) is a book of essays by W. E. B. Du
Bois. Written while the author was using his role at The Crisis,
the official magazine of the NAACP, to publish emerging Black
artists of the Harlem Renaissance, The Gift of Black Folk is a
purposeful work of history which revises the narrative of European
and British influence and emphasizes the outsized role of African
Americans in building the nation and establishing its definitive
culture. "[Despite] slavery, war and caste, and despite our present
Negro problem, the American Negro is and has been a distinct asset
to this country and has brought a contribution without which
America could not have been." This thesis could not be stated
clearly enough. Recognizing, in the words of Dr. King, "that the
keystone in the arch of oppression was the myth of inferiority," Du
Bois set out to revise American history to properly tell the story
of his people. As he does in his magnum opus Black Reconstruction
in America (1935), Du Bois recognizes that the failures of the
Reconstruction era were due in large part to an unwillingness to
accept Black people, enslaved or free, as human. In these essays,
he emphasizes the role of African Americans as workers, soldiers,
and explorers, situates them in the movement for women's rights,
and celebrates their contribution to the arts and culture of the
nation. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of W. E. B. Du Bois' The Gift of
Black Folk is a classic of African American literature reimagined
for modern readers.
