The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois
5.0

What is there even to say about this??

The Souls of Black Folk is an incredibly well written account of what it is to be a black man in the United States, tragically relevant over a century after it was first written. Somehow a sociological analysis of black culture, a political rebuttal to the work of Booker T. Washington, a personal memoir, and a fictional allegory all wrapped up into one exceptional work.

I think that this should be required reading for all Americans. White and black people can get so much from this. I highly recommend it.
