| Abstract |
"This book chronicles the story of sixty years of the life of a great man, Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, a social scientist, historian and pioneer in the black liberation struggle--in the U.S.A. and in Africa whence came his great-grandfather as a slave child in the eighteenth century. These selections from his writings of more than a half century were chosen by Dr. Du Bois himself shortly before his death in Ghana in 1963 at the age of ninety-five. He wrote with satire, humor, irony and stirring indignation. What he said decades ago is today being borne out in the fight of black people the world over"--Back cover. |
