W.E.B. Du Bois Collected editions

W.E.B. Du Bois (1868 – 1963) was an American sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist whose scholarship and activism laid the foundation for modern African American studies. A co-founder of the NAACP, Du Bois was a tireless advocate for racial equality and educational opportunity.

His works — including The Souls of Black Folk and Black Reconstruction in America — combine rigorous analysis with lyrical prose, offering a profound examination of race, democracy, and social justice. He was a global thinker, engaging with anti-colonial movements and Pan-Africanism throughout his life.

Through his intellect and activism, W.E.B. Du Bois became one of the most important voices for civil rights in the 20th century.
