Product Description
The essential writings of Du Bois have been selected and edited by David Levering Lewis, his Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer.
Amazon.com Review
Even as the lunch counters were being liberated in the South,W.E.B. Du Bois predicted the "... deepening class conflictwithin black America and superficial economic improvement at best inthe lot of the great majority of black people." Always an uttererof difficult and unpopular truths, Du Bois's writing still has thering of prophecy come true. "The inflexible truth he embraced wasthat, just as Africans in the United States 'under the corporate ruleof monopolized wealth ... will be confined to the lowest wage group,'so the peoples of the developing world faced subordination in theglobal scheme of things capitalist."

The long span of DuBois's remarkable life (95 years) embodied the essence of AfricanAmerican dilemmas, from the early 1870s and post-Reconstruction to theearly 1960s' civil rights revolution. Honored primarily for hisenormous breakthroughs in black scholarship, urban sociology, andcivil rights, Du Bois also paradoxically "... espoused racial andpolitical beliefs of such variety and seeming contradiction as tobewilder and alienate as many Americans, black and white, as heinspired or converted." Marxism, in his old age, would supersedecivil liberties as his ideological foundation.

The contradictions,the uncompromising brilliance, the allure, still has David L. Lewisasking, "Who is Du Bois, the man?" The more the details ofhis early life are probed, the more evident it becomes that Du Bois's"facts" differ from how he wrote about them. He crafted"a grand prose wherein the 'golden river' flowing near hisbirthplace is in fact the highly polluted Housatonic River; the'mighty [Burghardt] clan' of his mother's people is in reality ahardscrabble band of peasant landholders clinging topostage-stamp-size holdings; the dashing cavalier father, Alfred DuBois, is an army deserter and philanderer; and the 'gentle and decentpoverty' of his childhood is more often sharp and deep." Are suchdiscrepancies significant? In as much, claims Lewis, that theyrepresent Du Bois's cultivation of his outsider vision--a stancearticulated in his 1903 classic, The Soul of Black Folk, whichdescribes the essential and necessary double-consciousness of theAmerican black.

In his concentrated but vastly informativeintroduction, David Levering Lewis, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographerof W.E.B. Du Bois, posits four career turning points that shaped thishighly charged political life--from the disputes between Du Bois andBooker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey to the New York-NAACP years(1934) and the internal rift caused by Du Bois's fearlessdenunciations to the halls of academe to a run for the U.S. Senate atthe age of 82. His directorship of the Peace Information Center (PIC),which advocated nuclear disarmament, would get him declared a foreignagent. Turning to communism, even as Khrushchev disclosed theStalin-era crimes and Soviet atrocities, he exiled himself to WestAfrica. The timing seemed ironic. The American civil rights revolutionwas just gathering force.

This vast collection of the writings ofW.E.B. Du Bois is organized under 15 headings to reflect thephilosophical shifts and changes in a long and contradictorylife. Each section is introduced by Lewis with commentary on where DuBois stood historically in relation to issues of race and, whereappropriate, elucidating on the issues. Lewis's selections from the DuBois opus arise from a vast and confident knowledge. Students of raceand the civil rights movement in American history will want to addthis remarkable collection of Du Bois's essential writings to theirlibrary. -Hollis Giammatteo ... Read more

If I liked Du Bois before, I love him after purchasing this collection of essays! I have enjoyed reading through all of them

Reveals The DuBois you Didn't Know
Most Black History fans think they have DuBois figured out. You either hate him for his haughtiness and elitism or you love his militant stands. This collection of DuBois' writings shows that the truth was somewhere in between. We see DuBois change his mind on Marcus Garvey and the elitist "Talented Tenth" idea. We see DuBois evolve from Integrationism to Black Nationalism to Communism. We basically see a man who is not afraid to change his ideas and admit his errors, a very human and complex man. ...

Outstanding!

MidWest Book Review

A Walkthrough to the Wardrobe
"An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only." Said C.S. Lewis in his essay, "On Stories." Not every book is worth reading more than once, and some aren't worth even the first read. But when it comes to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, one of those classics is found that begs us to return on many occasions. How is it possible to read the same story countless times and not grow weary of it? One way is to broaden our understanding of it by approaching it from different perspectives.

In Further Up & Further In, Bruce Edwards gives a walkthrough to this enchanting story. He begins by introducing the reader to C.S. Lewis raising the question, "Who was Clive Staples Lewis that we should be mindful of him?" (2)

The bulk of this short book is dedicated to the story in which many have fallen in love with the great lion, Aslan. The seventeen chapters of Lewis' tale are grouped into 5 chapters in Dr. Edwards's book. First, the story is narrated with attention drawn to the emotions of the characters and reader as it progresses. After the story as been explained some background information is offered on various subjects relevant to the material covered, such as "The Wardrobe," "The Beavers," and "Deep Magic." At the end of the book are a series of study questions for each chapter and a suggested bibliography for going even further up and further in.

The greatest strength of Bruce Edwards's book is that he never lectures the reader. He is more of a guide, or a fellow reader, pointing things out as the story progresses. Rather than analyze isolated aspects of the story, he takes us into the story itself with witty and whimsical comments along the way.

There are always things of which more could be said in any book, but at times it felt like more should have been said. And so, the greatest weakness is the book's brevity. The best example is on the final page of the book where points are made of the story in light of Grace, Redemption, Resurrection, and Restoration. Only two to five sentences were written under each heading, though this would have made for a powerful conclusion had it been expanded upon.

Aside from its brevity, the book is a welcome companion to reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; whether it's for the first time or the tenth time. Bruce Edwards succeeds in showing us another way to view the story, to find our selves in it, and leave us wanting more.

Very Good book on Narnia
Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

My only complaint is the retelling of the story in each chapter.In some cases it was insightful but most of the time it felt overbearing to reread the basic storyline when I already knew it.

It isn't the best book on Narnia that I have read but it is definetly worth your time. ... Read more

Product Description
This book traces the evolving uses of writing to command assent and obedience in early China, an evolution that culminated in the establishment of a textual canon as the foundation of imperial authority. Its central theme is the emergence of this body of writings as the textual double of the state, and of the text-based sage as the double of the ruler. The book examines the full range of writings employed in early China, such as divinatory records, written communications with ancestors, government documents, the collective writings of philosophical and textual traditions, speeches attributed to historical figures, chronicles, verse anthologies, commentaries, and encyclopedic compendia. Lewis shows how these writings served to administer populations, control officials, form new social groups, invent new models of authority, and create an artificial language whose master generated power and whose graphs became potent objects. ...

This is a very well-researched, scholarly work. It is also incredibly dense to the point of being unreadable. If you're a graduate student in Chinese Lit or Lang (or going to be one), it's probably worth the investment. If you're not, this isn't the book for you. ... Read more

Thoroughly interesting.
This book is used as a reference in many books about ancient China by prominent authors. There is good reason: it is engrossing in its discussion of how myths of sage-emperors actually reflected customs found in supposedly "enlightened" eras. It is startling to learn how many people -- including the supposedly benign "creator" of the Yijing -- fed people stews made of their enemies. The scholarship is amazing and so is the journey from the world of the Zhou to the Han and the differences in the amount of control over individual lives. ... Read more

A Must Purchase
The Construction of Space in Early China (Suny Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture)
Without opening "The Construction of Space in Early China," this reader immediately knew of the outstanding scholastic caliber of its author, Mark Edward Lewis, not to mention the publishing caliber of the State University of New York Press (SUNY) and its excellent SUNY series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture. Consequently, my expectations were high and I am very pleased to say they were not disappointed in the least. This is a must purchase for those interesting in obtaining a more thorough appreciation and understanding of the Chinese quest for a harmonious union between themselves and their biophysical and socio-anthropological environment that gave rise to a Weltanschauung, or "world view." This study describes their way of reasoning and how they conceived of themselves as being an integral part of the imaged cosmos and intrinsically interjoined with its spiritual, physical, and moral "influences." This is a must purchase for those interesting in obtaining a more thorough grasp of this dimension of Chinese civilization how the Chinese conceived of space and time in relation to themselves and, in turn,their governance of themselves and those other cultures around them. My only regret is that this important study does not have a glossary of relevant terms and words, along with their corresponding ideograms, for the convenience of its readers. ... Read more

Product Description
When first published in 1903, W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk struck like a thunderclap, quickly establishing itself as a work that wholly redefined the history of the black experience in America, introducing the now famous “problem of the color line.” In decades since, its stature has only grown, and today it ranks as one of the most influential and resonant works in the history of American thought.

This centennial edition contains a landmark Introduction by historian David Levering Lewis that brilliantly demonstrates how The Souls of Black Folk remains indispensable not only to an understanding of the history of race and democracy in America but to considerations of the future of racial and cultural comity in the twenty-first century.Amazon.com Review
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963) is the greatest of African American intellectuals--a sociologist, historian, novelist, and activist whose astounding career spanned the nation's history from Reconstruction to the civil rights movement. Born in Massachusetts and educated at Fisk, Harvard, and the University of Berlin, Du Bois penned his epochal masterpiece, The Souls of Black Folk, in 1903. It remains his most studied and popular work; its insights into Negro life at the turn of the 20th century still ring true.

With a dash of the Victorian and Enlightenment influences that peppered his impassioned yet formal prose, the book's largely autobiographical chapters take the reader through the momentous and moody maze of Afro-American life after the Emancipation Proclamation: from poverty, the neoslavery of the sharecropper, illiteracy, miseducation, and lynching, to the heights of humanity reached by the spiritual "sorrow songs" that birthed gospel and the blues. The most memorable passages are contained in "On Booker T. Washington and Others," where Du Bois criticizes his famous contemporary's rejection of higher education and accommodationist stance toward white racism: "Mr. Washington's programme practically accepts the alleged inferiority of the Negro races," he writes, further complaining that Washington's thinking "withdraws many of the high demands of Negroes as men and American citizens." The capstone of The Souls of Black Folk, though, is Du Bois' haunting, eloquent description of the concept of the black psyche's "double consciousness," which he described as "a peculiar sensation.... One ever feels this twoness--an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." Thanks to W.E.B. Du Bois' commitment and foresight--and the intellectual excellence expressed in this timeless literary gem--black Americans can today look in the mirror and rejoice in their beautiful black, brown, and beige reflections. --Eugene Holley Jr. ...

This edition is a publishing scam.
Please do not buy this edition of The Souls of Black Folk.It is a publishing scam that involves scanning a text in the public domain, and then appropriating reviews, images, and customer feedback of other editions. The scanning process is inaccurate so you will receive an edition that does not have correct paragraph markings and may have missing text. Thumbs down.

Some Comments
Du Bois eloquently expresses the black experience circa 1903. More precisely, Du Bois was a mulatto. There are a lot of environmental explanations of black problems in the book. Du Bois asserts that the black man is not inferior, but is of one of the less developed races. He had confidence that education would lift the black man up and it was the white man's duty to do so. He explains that slavery caused such problems as black promiscuity, crime, weak marriages, lower educational and moral standards, and distrust of the police and the justice system. Even after slavery days have passed, the characteristics of that culture are passed through the generations.

One complaint he had about freeing the slaves was that they were not properly prepared to live as free men. They should have been given 40 acres and a mule and job skill training so that they could move up the economic ladder. Blacks were allowed to slide back down to the serfdom of being sharecroppers. The cotton crop began to yield less bounty and money because the land was worn out from over use and cotton prices fell, leaving the south in poverty, but unwilling to change its ways.

Although Du Bois was raised in the North, he had great sympathy for everyone living in the South and he often expressed its political problems from a socially conservative point of view. He was a gentleman reformer, not a fire-breathing revolutionary. His love of the liberal arts and higher education shines through as he asserts that blacks should be given higher education to learn about the finer things and the meaning of life. He contradicted Booker T. Washington's compromise with the white south's desire to keep blacks in their place. Washington thought that blacks should just learn trades and not worry about having political power, civil rights, and higher education.

Du Bois liked to mix among the common black folk and he gives us some insight into how poor blacks lived at the time. An uneasy peace had settled in the south as resentful whites adjusted to the new status of blacks as partially free and equal, courtesy of the Yankee government.

My favorite essay was Of the Coming of John in which a white John, son of a judge, and a black John, son of a servant, live parallel lives. They both leave town to get a degree. White John goes to Princeton and Black John goes to a lesser known school. The whites in the small southern town decry Black John getting an education, saying that it will ruin him. After all, he is such a nice, obedient boy and will make a good servant as long as he does not get any fool ideas in his head. As Black John loses his simplicity and becomes more disciplined in his studies, he becomes serious, dignified, and less content than when he was a simple, joyful youth. He returns home reluctantly after getting his degree, thinking that he has outgrown the small town he grew up in. He goes North briefly, but he does not feel at home there either. The blacks in the small town think he has become stuck up and whites think that he has become dangerously uppity. The story ends in tragedy, but I thought it was a good story about outgrowing a town and then not being able to fit back into that small box again and not being able to fit in elsewhere either. It's something I can relate to. It shows the attitudes of whites toward black education at the time. In a sense, Black John was ruined, but that, according to Du Bois, was because whites would not support black education, not because he had outgrown the town.

W.E.B. DuBoise, book review
If you are not well-read, or a Harvard graduate, then you might want to think twice before ordering this one. It's the typical work of W.E.B. BuBoise - using uncommon 'advanced terminology' (long fancy words) to present his point. You'll find yourself having to use a dictionary for every other word, and it'll take a month to finish this 150 page paperback, and you'll still find youself saying, "That's it? THAT'S the book that all the fuss has been stirred over?" If you want to read something of the old fashioned 'Reconstruction era' pertaining to black folks, then stick to 'Ways of The White Folks,' or something else by Langston Hughs.

Review of Bedford's DuBois
This volume includes the Souls of Black Folk, and also a few other essays by DuBois. The introduction to the subject matter is almost as inspiring as DuBois himself. One drawback- the text is accompanied by endnotes rather than footnotes, which is rather problematic because Dubois' frequent references to very specific classical literature call for frequent trips to the back of the book.

Understand "double consciousness"
This was required reading for a graduate course in the Humanities. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (February 23, 1868 - August 27, 1963) was an American civil rights activist, leader, Pan-Africanist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar. He became a naturalized citizen of Ghana in 1963 at the age of 95. David Levering Lewis, a biographer, wrote, "In the course of his long, turbulent career, W.E.B. Du Bois attempted virtually every possible solution to the problem of twentieth-century racism--scholarship, propaganda, integration, cultural and economic separatism, politics, international communism, expatriation, third world solidarity. After graduating from Fisk University in 1888, Du Bois took a bachelor's degree cum laude from Harvard College in 1890 (Harvard having refused to recognize the equivalency of his Fisk degree), and in 1892 received a stipend to attend the University of Berlin. While a student in Berlin, he travelled extensively throughout Europe, and came of age intellectually while studying with some of the most prominent social scientists in the German capital, such as Gustav von Schmoller. In 1896, Du Bois became the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University. After teaching at Wilberforce University in Ohio and the University of Pennsylvania, he established the department of sociology at Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University).

"The Souls of Black Folk" is the most well-known work of African-American W.E.B. Du Bois, a writer, leader, and civil rights activist. The book, published in 1903, contains several essays on race, some of which had been previously published in Atlantic Monthly magazine. Du Bois drew from his own experiences to develop this groundbreaking work on being African-American in American society. Outside of its notable place in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the first works to deal with sociology. In Living Black History, (p. 96) esteemed scholar and Du Bois biographer Manning Marable makes the following observation about the book: "Few books make history and fewer still become foundational texts for the movements and struggles of an entire people. The Souls of Black Folk occupies this rare position. It helped to create the intellectual argument for the black freedom struggle in the twentieth century. Souls justified the pursuit of higher education for Negroes and thus contributed to the rise of the black middle class. By describing a global color-line, Du Bois anticipated pan-Africanism and colonial revolutions in the Third World. Moreover, this stunning critique of how 'race' is lived through the normal aspects of daily life is central to what would become known as 'whiteness studies' a century later."

For Du Bois the problem of 20th century is problem of color line. Concept of double consciousness is looking thru eyes of others. Notion of authenticity what does it mean to be authentic? His idea is very Freudian. Du Bois says authenticity is a longing for Blacks, but impossible because blacks can't be authentic have to live another way. Cornell West says Du Bois is a pragmatist. He is connected to the Harlem Renaissance. Paul Gilroy says Du Bois is more connected with Pan Africanism experience of displaced Africans around the world. What does he mean "souls of Black folk"? It is a metaphor for spirituality. Book is meant to provide progress for black folks. Freedman's bureau had some success like schools. He had issue with B. T. Washington populist message of wanting blacks to concentrate on jobs not the vote, higher education, or civil rights. Du Bois resents Booker T. Washington as spokesperson for blacks. Critiques American materialism. Standard of human culture and lofty ideals of life, the talented tenth. Book is pioneering for 6 reasons: 1. Identification of hyphenated self. 2. Recognition of Black culture like music, the Blues vernacular culture. The soul of the nation itself, West says musically is key to text, it "sings" the "sorrow song" is motif of life. 3. Important to Harlem renaissance period. 4. Pioneering work of sociology and psychology. 5. Higher education is means to self realization. 6. Relations to economics drives development of black life.

Double consciousness. His double consciousness gives us a vivid picture of how tragic the racist discourse is, defined by skin color. Black or white thus it strengthens arguments that each race had unique properties thus polarizing us. His book gives us this understanding of our mind and self identity. If Blacks accept the racial divide they then deny equality. He does see a black identity and celebrates difference made real in Black experience. Celebrates difference made real in peoples experience and beyond our racial fictions. How does he do this, what is the key? It is music the "sorrows song." Those voicings, these songs speak to slow tragedy. He precedes each chapter with sorrow song. The doubleness of consciousness is extended throughout the work. They convey resistance and defiance. Last chapter how prejudice works on people. Whiteness is non race. The great chain of being, your place in society. Rise of Enlightenment human is now sovereign leads to systematic study of man.

Du Bois was investigated by the FBI, who claimed in May of 1942 that "his writing indicates him to be a socialist," and that he "has been called a Communist and at the same time criticized by the Communist Party." Du Bois visited Communist China during the Great Leap Forward. Also, in the 16 March 1953 issue of The National Guardian, Du Bois wrote "Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature." Du Bois was chairman of the Peace Information Center at the start of the Korean War. He was among the signers of the Stockholm Peace Pledge, which opposed the use of nuclear weapons. In 1950, he ran for the U.S. Senate on the American Labor Party ticket in New York and received 4% of the vote. He was indicted in the United States under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and acquitted for lack of evidence. W.E.B. Du Bois became disillusioned with both black capitalism and racism in the United States. In 1959, Du Bois received the Lenin Peace Prize. In 1961, at the age of 93, he joined the Communist Party USA.

Du Bois was invited to Ghana in 1961 by President Kwame Nkrumah to direct the Encyclopedia Africana, a government production, and a long-held dream of his. When, in 1963, he was refused a new U.S. passport, he and his wife, Shirley Graham Du Bois, became citizens of Ghana, making them dual citizens of Ghana and the United States. Du Bois' health had declined in 1962, and on August 27, 1963, he died in Accra, Ghana at the age of ninety-five, one day before Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
