Sinopsis

The Souls of Black Folkáis a 1903 work ofáAmerican literatureábyáW. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in theáhistory of sociologyáand a cornerstone ofáAfrican-American literature. The book contains several essays on race. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as anáAfrican Americanáin American society. Outside of its notable relevance ináAfrican-American history,áThe Souls of Black Folkáalso holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.InáThe Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term 'double consciousness,' perhaps taken fromáRalph Waldo Emersoná('The Transcendentalist' and 'Fate'), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them. Du Bois had transdisciplinary training and he provided a historical context for black religion and culture. His concept of 'double-consciousness' and other concepts fromáSoulsáhave been highly influential on other scholars in their interpretations of black culture and religion.
