The Oxford W. E. B. Du Bois Reader encompasses the whole of Du Bois’s long and multifaceted writing career from the 1890s through the early 1960s. The volume selects key essays and longer works
that portray the range of Du Bois’s thought on such subjects as African-American culture, the politics and sociology of American race relations, art and music, black leadership, gender and
women’s rights, Pan-Africanism and anti-colonialism, and Communism in the U.S. and abroad. Supplemented by an extensive critical introduction and headnotes to major works and topics, the Oxford
Reader offers the most engaging and extensive compilation of Du Bois’s writings now available.
