The Souls of Black Folk
by W.E.B. Du Bois
The Souls of Black Folk is a collection of essays from 1903 on the black experience in America and the need to protest, which was considered radical in a time of Booker T Washington and the accommodation strategy.
I only discovered this from my history coursework, and I expected it to be dry and a hard read. This is definitely not the case though. Du Bois writes beautifully and includes personal experiences, real people and aspects of everyday life to give an insight into life for black people in America during the Jim Crow era.
