First published in 1903, this groundbreaking work is a cornerstone of African American literary history and a foundational text in the field of sociology. In these fourteen essays, W. E. B. Du Bois introduces and explores the concept of “double-consciousness”—a term he uses to describe the experience of living as an African American and having a “sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others.”

Though an examination of Black life in post-Civil War America, The Souls of Black Folk has had a lasting impact on civil rights and the discussion of race in the United States.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Souls of Black Folk, this edition of The Souls of Black Folk (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

I love this book. It's beautifully written and very easy to get lost in. Usually, I'm not one for poetry but the poems in here are wonderful. The narrator did an amazing job.

The prose is magnificent and this audiobook makes learning history easy, though the subject of slavery and the subjugation of an entire group of people based on skin color is definitely shameful.
A better narrator could not have been found!His voice is truly mellifluous, even with such a terrible subject. The author wrote the words, and the narrator’s voice painted the pictures superbly.
I will listen again and again for the sake of educating myself more. So glad Audible included this title in its offerings.

EVERYONE Should Listen!
