ESSAY ON: Du Bois/The Color Line

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page essay that addresses the fact that W.E.B. Du Bois begins the second chapter of his groundbreaking 1903 text The Souls of Black Folk with the comment that "The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line,--the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the island of the sea" (Du Bois 8). As this statement suggests, the underlying theme of Du Bois' text is the issue of racism. This issue is examined by Du Bois from numerous perspectives throughout his text, which include: the leadership of black people in the US; the education of black men; and the general living condition of the black populace living in the South. No additional sources cited.
