Free (nook/Kindle) Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois [African-American Scholar Writing w/Note]
The Wisdom of W. E. B. Du Bois, edited by Aberjhani (Wikipedia), is a collection of selected excerpts from the late noted African-American scholar, activist, and literary figure's (Wikipedia) writings on life, the universe, and everything various topics of history, philosophy, art, culture, and human nature etc., each section annotated with new contextual introductions, in the Wisdom Series of such, free courtesy of publisher Open Road Media's Philosophical Library imprint.
Currently free @ B&N & Amazon (available to Canadians). Oddly not free in other North American venues as ORM books usually are, but some price-drop-check linkage in case you're feeling optimistic: Kobo & iTunes & Google Play. Description Discover the powerful and wide-ranging views of W.E.B. DuBois At the heart of the African American struggle for equality and identity in the United States, W.E.B. DuBois stands as an early and eloquent voice, articulating the essential challenges of his own age and illuminating the historical basis for the civil rights movement. In this selection of quotes and excerpts drawn from his prolific career’s many books, novels, articles, essays, poems, letters, and speeches, DuBois addresses not only the issues of slavery, African American equality, and democracy, but also the need for public education, women’s rights, and pacifism. Each subject includes a thorough introduction to DuBois’s role and his time. A founder of the NAACP and its magazine The Crisis, as well as an academic, political, and literary figure in the Harlem Renaissance, DuBois was groundbreaking and controversial, and left an impressive legacy.
