Review Quotes:
"Du Bois's notion of the 'the problem with the color line' is well known to scholars and yet, despite being one of the most central observations of his early career, one that shaped the trajectory of his public life, we lack a complete study critiquing this idea. Reading Du Bois provides the reader with an in-depth and very engaging rendering of Du Bois's foundational idea from an Afrocentric perspective." - Adisa A. Alkebulan, San Diego State University
