Souls of Black Folk
'Souls of Black Folk' Summary
W.E.B. Du Bois's *The Souls of Black Folk* is a seminal work of African American literature and social commentary. Published in 1903, it explores the complexities of the African American experience in the United States, particularly in the aftermath of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow segregation. Through a blend of personal narrative, sociological analysis, and passionate calls for racial equality, Du Bois captures the psychological and social effects of racial prejudice and the struggle for Black liberation. He introduces the concept of "double consciousness," the internalized sense of being both Black and American, a feeling of division and duality that defines the Black experience in a society built on racial inequality. The book stands as a powerful testament to the resilience, intellect, and determination of African Americans in the face of systemic oppression.Book Details
