LARGE PRINT EDITION. Sweeping across African American history and
culture in the shadow of slavery and ongoing racism, The Souls of
Black Folk laid bare challenging issues sadly still relevant more
than 100 years after its first publication. This collection of 14
essays is a cornerstone work of African-American literature. The
author examines history and the social conditions of his era,
balancing his observations with philosophical asides and
autobiographical insights. He describes the central issue of the
20th century as “the problem of the color line" --a divide both
visible and invisible, a veil between blacks and the white world
that needs to be broken through before those on either side of it
can truly know one another. He describes the tension arising from
being both black and American as a dual consciousness, a unique
identity which had long been a disadvantage but could conceivably
become a source of strength. First published in 1903, this
profoundly influential text is an acclamation of human rights, a
condemnation of the systems that infringe upon them, and one of the
most significant books to contribute to the cause of racial
equality in US history. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Souls of
Black Folk is both modern and readable.
