“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” writes Du Bois, in one of the most prophetic works in all of American literature. First published in 1903, this collection of 15 essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in America—and to demand an end to it. Du Bois’ writing draws on his early experiences, from teaching in the hills of Tennessee, to the death of his infant son, to his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington.

The suppression of the African slave trade is intricately linked to its origins, the institution of American slavery, and the sweeping colonial policies of the eighteenth century. This complex interplay makes it difficult to tackle the subject without falling into superficiality or overly narrow viewpoints. While I do not claim to fully resolve these challenges, my hope is that this monograph will serve as a significant contribution to the academic discourse surrounding slavery and the African American experience. (Summary by W.E. Burghardt Du Bois)

The question of the suppression of the slave-trade is so intimately connected with the questions as to its rise, the system of American slavery, and the whole colonial policy of the eighteenth century, that it is difficult to isolate it, and at the same time to avoid superficiality on the one hand, and unscientific narrowness of view on the other. While I could not hope entirely to overcome such a difficulty, I nevertheless trust that I have succeeded in rendering this monograph a small contribution to the scientific study of slavery and the American Negro. (Summary by W.E. Burghardt Du Bois)

This essay is an attempt to set forth more clearly than has hitherto been done the effect which the Negro has had upon American life. Its thesis is that despite slavery, war and caste, and despite our present Negro problem, the American Negro is and has been a distinct asset to this country and has brought a contribution without which America could not have been; and that perhaps the essence of our so-called Negro problem is the failure to recognize this fact and to continue to act as though the Negro was what we once imagined and wanted to imagine him—a representative of a subhuman species ...

The Souls of Black Folk is a well-known work of African-American literature by activist W.E.B. Du Bois. 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. Outside of its notable place in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the first works to deal with sociology.

Nevertheless, I have not been able to withstand the temptation to essay such short general statement of the main known facts and their fair interpretation as shall enable the general reader to know as men a sixth or more of the human race. Manifestly so short a story must be mainly conclusions and generalizations with but meager indication of authorities and underlying arguments. - Summary by the author

Las almas del pueblo negro es una obra clásica de la literatura estadounidense, un trabajo seminal en la historia de la sociología y una piedra angular en la historia de la literatura afroamericana. Originalmente publicado en 1903, es un estudio sobre raza, cultura y educación a principios del siglo XX. Con su combinación única de ensayo, memoria y ficción, catapultó a Du Bois a la vanguardia del comentario político estadounidense y el activismo por los derechos civiles.

W.E.B. Du Bois, who drew from his own experiences as an African-American living in American society, explores the concept of "double-consciousness"—a term he uses to describe living as an African-American and having a "sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others." With Du Bois' examination of Black life in post-Civil War America, his explanation of the meaning of emancipation and its effect, and his views on the roles of the black leaders of his time, The Souls of Black Folk is one of the important early works in the field of sociology.

Cotton, or the silver fleece, could be the answer to all of Zora and Bles’ problems in overcoming poverty. But being African American at the dawn of the twentieth century has disadvantages. White aristocracy is determined to control the resource and monopolize the market. Can the two lovers overcome their obstacles?

W. E. B. Du Bois considered his first novel, The Quest of the Silver Fleece, to be an “economic study” of the post-Reconstruction relationship between the North and the South, but this first foray into fiction proves itself to be much more than that. Filled with literary realism, social commentary, and romance, Silver Fleece chronicles the love story between Zora, a free-spirited Black girl from a Southern swamp, and Bles, a Black man educated in the North.
