ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Souls of Black Folk” by W.E.B. Du Bois is a powerful exploration of the African American experience in the post-Civil War United States. The book addresses the struggles of Black Americans through essays that discuss themes such as racial identity, inequality, and the fight for civil rights. Du Bois introduces the concept of "double-consciousness," describing the tension Black people feel between their own self-identity and how they are viewed by a prejudiced society. Using a blend of personal reflection, historical analysis, and sociological insights, Du Bois critiques the systemic barriers that perpetuate racial injustice.
