’One ever feels his twoness—an American, a Negro; two souls, two
thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body,
whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." W.E. B. Du Bois wrote these words almost 100 years ago, and
they remain hauntingly apt today. The thoughts of these twenty black intellectuals addressing the double-consciousness of
African Americans will galvanize, stimulate—and sometimes discomfort—readers both black and white. Paperback 11.95
