Summary:	"W. E. B. Du Bois was the pre-eminent African American intellectual of the twentieth century. He made the problems of race central to an understanding of the United States within both national and transnational contexts; his masterwork The Souls of Black Folk (1903) is today among the most widely read and most often quoted works of African American literature. This Companion offers students a critical introduction to Du Bois, as well as opening new pathways into the further study of his remarkable career. It will be of interest to all those working in African American studies, American literature, and American studies generally."--BOOK JACKET.
