lolaleviathan 's review for:

The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois

5.0

---

This book is full of masterful rhetoric (particularly Du Bois's takedown of Booker T. Washington and the Atlanta Compromise), powerful observation and heartbreaking self-disclosure. It's amazing to think that it was published 110 years ago, and disheartening to realize how far we still have to go re: race in the USA.
