Du Bois' 1903 collection of essays is a thoughtful, articulate exploration of the moral and intellectual issues surrounding the perception of blacks within American society.

Short Review: Wide ranging series of 15 essays that range from personal to historical to philosophical. This is both clearly rooted in its time (1903) and still prescient. I think this is the first time I have read a whole book by DuBois. I have read some of his individual essays (the talented 10th at least). DuBois has a lyrical writing style that I really love. I want to read more of his writing, but probably after I read a good biography. If anyone has a suggestion I am open to it.
