In \u0026amp;\u0026amp;LI\u0026amp;\u0026amp;RThe Souls of Black Folk\u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/I\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R, published in 1903, Du Bois argued against the conciliatory position taken by Booker T. Washington, at the time the most influential black leader in America, and called for a more radical form of aggressive protest―a strategy that would anticipate and inspire much of the activism of the 1960s. \u0026amp;\u0026amp;LP\u0026amp;\u0026amp;RDu Bois’s essays were the first to articulate many of Black America’s thoughts and feelings, including the dilemma posed by the black psyche’s “double consciousness,” which Du Bois described as “this twoness―an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings . . . in one dark body.” Every essay in The Souls of Black Folk is a jewel of intellectual prowess, eloquent language, and groundbreaking insight. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the struggle for Civil Rights in America.\u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/P\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R\u0026amp;\u0026amp;LP\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R\u0026amp;\u0026amp;LB\u0026amp;\u0026amp;RFarah Jasmine Griffin\u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/B\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R is Professor of English and Comparative Literature and African-American Studies at Columbia University in New York City. \u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/P\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R\u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/DIV\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 159308014X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.159308014X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Du Bois, W.
