Reviews

[Glenn · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of an A-Z than an ABC. The selection, doesn't cover the key parts of Du Bois' view on race, as you might expect from an ABC. Instead it spans his long career, including letters, diaries, minor articles, and his changing opinions throughout. It's interesting to read Du Bois' evolving views, and his reactions to contemporary events, but less useful as a clear statement of his fundamental beliefs.

Probably better off reading Black Reconstruction and The Souls of Black Folk.
