Summary: A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT
Review: Written in 1903, "The Souls of Black Folk" is one book that has withstood the test of time.
This riveting memoir narrates the experiences that shaped millions of (Black) American lives in the 19th Century. In learning about the liberty struggles which helped Americans grow up, the pages of this evergreen book calls our contemporary moral standings to question. It is compelling.
W.E.B. DuBois is a perpetual icon: not just because he was a Blackman, who bagged a Harvard Ph.D at the tender age of 27, (during the days of stark racism). But, because his works speak for him.
His popular saying: "My leadership was a leadership of ideas, I never was, nor ever will be personally popular", goes deeper in thoughts.
This book depicts his style and consistency. It is a very welcomed masterpiece: a phantom of delight.
