Focusing on the struggle for civil rights, this collection of essays by W. E. B. Du Bois critiques the accommodationist approach of Booker T. Washington, arguing that it undermines the inherent dignity and rights of Black individuals. First published in 1903, these essays played a pivotal role in shaping early 20th-century Black protest strategies and polarized leaders into conservative and radical factions. Its profound impact on African-American history and civil rights makes it essential reading for understanding the fight against oppression.
