W. E. B. Du Bois: A Reader

W.E.B. Du Bois: A Reader won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 1994 and 2001 and was a National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction in 1993 and 2000. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois—the premier architect of the civil rights movement in America—was a towering and controversial personality, a fiercely proud individual blessed with the language of the poet and the impatience of the agitator. Now, David Levering Lewis has carved one volume out of his superlative two-volume biography of this monumental figure that set the standard for historical scholarship on this era. In his magisterial prose, Lewis chronicles Du Bois's long and storied career, detailing the momentous contributions to our national character that still echo today.
