This title presents new evaluations on the significance of Du Bois. "The Souls of W. E. B. Du Bois" is a collection of articles that treat Du Bois on the subject of religion by reintroducing his life and work to an audience that may be familiar with his work generally but may never have seen analyses of his study of religion.
