Meer over het boek

W. E. B. Du Bois's collection of essays provides profound insights into black history and the ongoing struggles of African Americans post-emancipation. As a pivotal figure in early twentieth-century activism, Du Bois argues that racial inequality remains a central issue, famously stating that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line." His essays cover a wide range of topics, including sociological studies and discussions on religion and music, making them essential for understanding the black experience in America today.
