W. E. B. Du Bois' insightful commentary on Black history, racism,
and the struggles of Black Americans following emancipation-a
masterpiece in the African-American canon "Jonathan Holloway
introduces W. E. B. Du Bois' 1903 classic for our time, when
visions of a 'post-racial' America clash with the enduring
centrality of what Du Bois termed 'the problem of the color-line.'
We need Du Bois now more than ever."-Adam Bradley, University of
Colorado, Boulder This collection of essays by scholar-activist W.
E. B. Du Bois is a masterpiece in the African American canon. Du
Bois, arguably the most influential African American leader of the
early twentieth century, offers insightful commentary on Black
history, racism, and the struggles of Black Americans following
emancipation. In his groundbreaking work, the author presciently
writes that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of
the color line," and offers powerful arguments for the absolute
necessity of moral, social, political, and economic equality. These
essays on the black experience in America range from sociological
studies of the African American community to illuminating
discourses on religion and "Negro music," and remain essential
reading in our so-called "post-racial age." A new introduction by
Jonathan Scott Holloway explores Du Bois's signature
accomplishments while helping readers to better understand his
writings in the context of his time as well as ours.
