The Souls of Black Folk is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of AfricanAmerican literature. The book contains several essays on race. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in AfricanAmerican history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness," perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them. Du Bois had transdisciplinary training and he provided a historical context for black religion and culture. His concept of "doubleconsciousness" and other concepts from Souls have been highly influential on other scholars in their interpretations of black culture and religion.This case laminate collectors edition includes a Victorian inspired dustjacket.
