Rare First Edition of W. E. B. Du Bois' The Study of Negro Problems
Rare first edition of this early sociological essay from Du Bois. Octavo, original wrappers. In very good condition with toning, a couple closed tears to the front panel, and some loss to the edges of the wrapper. A rare and unique piece. No other copies are indicated to have ever sold at auction.
"Undoubtedly the most important modern African-American intellectual, Du Bois virtually invented modern African-American letters and gave form to the consciousness animating the work of practically all other modern African-American intellectuals to follow… he left Americans—black and white—a legacy of intellectual tools, a language with which they might analyze their present and imagine a future" (ANB).
