ESSAY ON: W.E.B. DuBois’ “The Souls of Black Folks”: A Structural Functionalist Approach

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page overview of the meaning and intent of this early twentieth century work. Written from a structural functionalist approach, this paper attempts to use DuBois’ work to define black existence within context of the white society beside which it exists. The author of this paper contends that the ethnic relations illustrated by DuBois were a manifestation of white societies’ tendency to keep their own “family” strong by either weeding out, or preying on the cheap or even free labor of blacks. Blacks, on the other hand, set up their own internal way of interacting with the world which served to preserve their own society. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
