This volume assembles essential essays by W.E.B. Du Bois from 1894 to early 1906. These show the first formulations of some of his most famous ideas, namely, 'the veil', 'double-consciousness', and the 'problem of the color line'. The deep historical sense of the formation of the modern world that informed Du Bois's thought and gave rise to his understanding of 'the problem of the color line' is displayed.
