The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- Du Bois draws directly from his own life and observations as a Black American, which gives the work an immediacy and authenticity that shaped how people think about race and identity in America.
- This book is considered one of the first major works of American sociology, so it's historically important beyond just literature and African-American studies.
- This is a CreateSpace edition, which is a print-on-demand reprint, so the physical quality and binding may vary from the original or other publishers' versions.
As of Aug 31, the The Souls of Black Folk is a good price at $9.99 — versus a $9.83 typical price and a $2.95 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
