The Education of Black People
GOOD PRICE.
This is a collection of essays and speeches by W.E.B. Du Bois written between 1906 and 1960 about Black education and intellectual development. It's for readers interested in African American history, educational philosophy, and Du Bois's arguments that true education should develop critical thinking and human values rather than just job training.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- Du Bois makes the case that education should be fundamentally challenging to the status quo, not just practical or vocational.
- The book is a used copy in good condition, so you're getting an older physical edition rather than a new printing.
- These pieces were written nearly a century ago but Du Bois frames education through classical philosophy, which gives the arguments a broader historical context than just contemporary debates.
As of Aug 30, the The Education of Black People is a good price at $13.80 — versus a $15.95 typical price and a $13.07 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
