The Souls of Black Folkby W. E. B. Du Bois; With an Introduction and Chronology by Jonathan Scott Holloway "Given that thousands of pages have been written on Du Bois and his magnum opus, it is truly remarkable that Holloway manages to convey the richness and diversity of both man and text in so short a space."—Nico Slate, Carnegie Mellon University "Jonathan Scott Holloway's graceful new introduction brings Souls forward to a new generation as more than a primary source of our racial past, now serving as a scythe to help cut through the maddening claims of a post-racial present."—Davarian L. Baldwin, author of Chicago's New Negroes A masterpiece in the African American canon—part prose poem, part sociological tract, part memoir, part manifesto—this collection of essays by 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.
