About This Item
London: Archibald Constable & Co, 1905. First British Edition. Very Good. First British edition, first printing. Signed by W.E.B. Du Bois on the front free endpaper. Bound in publisher's black cloth ruled in blind and lettered in gilt on the spine. Very Good with gouge to spine affecting title, rubbing to cloth at extremities. Toning to pages, with foxing at preliminary and terminal leaves and light offsetting to front and rear free endpapers. A seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African American literature, in which Du Bois discusses "double consciousness"--the idea that African Americans have two fields of vision, one how they see themselves, and the other how others view them.
Synopsis
The Souls of Black Folk is a classic work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology, and a cornerstone of African-American literary history. The book, published in 1903, contains several essays on race, some of which had been previously published in Atlantic Monthly magazine. Du Bois drew from his own experiences to develop this groundbreaking work on being African American in American society.
