W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) published 22 works during his long career, all of them contained within this impressive and painstaking collected set. Each of the volumes contains the introduction to Du Bois's life and works by Gates (Harvard U.), as well as a scholarly introduction to the individual work written by one of the American academics who contributed to this project. Each volume contains as well a chronology of Du Bois's life and a selected bibliography. Gates's general introduction and the introductions to each of Du Bois's works form a valuable opus in their own right, as they convey the author's political and social theories and indicate the richness and development of his ideas. Du Bois's conception of race and color in America is a central theme throughout his oeuvre, beginning with his seminal Souls of Black Folk of 1903. The realities of slavery, racism, and segregation in the United States are always at the forefront, making these works (many of them out-of-print) continually pertinent and forceful reading. The volumes are not numbered as a set, but stand alone as individual works; each includes its own informative dust jacket. This set will be an essential addition to public and college libraries.
