The Oxford W. E. B. Du Bois Reader
"An excellent selection of his writings."--Anna M. Cenklin, Spalding University"Every academic discipline has its pioneers or persons who set forth seminal ideas which undergird the discipline. In my judgment, one of the major patron saints of Africana studies is undoubtedly W.E.B. Du Bois. The Oxford W.E.B. Du Bois Reader is an excellent resource because it pulls together under one cover the major writings of our major scholar. This material is must reading for all Africana studies majors and minors and for all people desirous of understanding the African American's quest for social justice in America."--Warren C. Swindell, Indiana State University"This is clearly the very best treatment of the writing of Du Bois in print. It makes his important writing Du Bois come alive and appear manageable for the average college student in one volume. The selected writings cut to the heart of the essence of Du Bois' thinking."--Glenn O. Phillips,Morgan State University-Baltimore"It should be required reading in courses on the history of ideas and social thought."--D. Wilkinson, University of Kentucky-Lexington"A very comprehensive study of the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois."--Dr. Lloyd Johnson, Campbell University-Bures Creek"A excellent book of sources."--Paul L. Simon,Xavier University"A magnificent collection of Du Bois' most important writing, conveniently compiled in one place. Presentation is excellent."--Patrick Rael,Bowdoin Colleges-Brunswick"This appears to be the collection to choose for a thorough and broadly representative volume of Du Bois' writings. It contains the complete The Soul of Black Folk (the central Du Bois text), plus a wide selection of shorter essays." --David M. Robinson, Oregon State University--Corvallis"Bravo! A well selected, well edited collection of the major writing in one volume, with a superb introduction."--Forrest Robinson, University College of Santa Cruz--Santa Cruz"Terrific compilation-I love the density and range. Will be useful for upper division and graduate courses."--Jo Ellen Green Kaiser, University of Kentucky--Lexington
