The Souls of Black Folk (Golden Eagle World Classics Collection)

"The Souls of Black Folk" is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature. The book contains several essays on race, based on his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, "The Souls of Black Folk" also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology. In his work, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.
