A thoughtful, articulate exploration of the moral and intellectual issues surrounding the perception of blacks within American society at the turn of the century In a very personal document, Du Bois examines the veiled nature of black life and black 'invisibility' within society. Believing that one can know the "soul" of a race by knowing the souls of individuals, he seeks to establish the relations not only between blacks and whites but also among blacks themselves - rich and poor, educated and uneducated - by describing his own encounters, from his upbringing in a northern city through his days at college, to his journeys through the South. Throughout, Du Bois is concerned with the separation of the races, both literally, through segregation, and psychologically, through the attitudes of whites towards blacks. First published in 1903, Du Bois's book raised new questions and concerns; today, it remains an important document of American social and political history.

SERIES EDITED BY CYNTHIA BRANTLEY JOHNSON

Relationships at work tend to be interdependent, competitive, hierarchical, overexposed, and compulsory. Keeping the interests of yourself, your boss, your peers, your subordinates, your vendors, and your customers in alignment all the time is impossible. Meanwhile, you must also contend with competitors and unpredictable markets. Thus, for most people, work involves a constant juggling of-and wrestling with-competing interests. Whether the stakes are pecuniary, psychological, or both, they are always on the line in every interaction at work. While the workplace is an environment more likely to provoke feelings of anger, the consequences of poorly managed anger in the workplace may be much greater than in other contexts. At the same time, if managed effectively, anger can be a positive and productive emotion producing valuable data, as well as considerable motivation. Managing Anger in the Workplace will help you understand the costs and benefits of anger in the workplace; diagnose anger and common anger syndromes; use the underlying causes of anger as data to continually improve relationships, systems, practices, and policies; and manager anger in yourself, in others, and in your team.
