Practicing Postmodernism/Reading Modernism
Perhaps one of the best summations of the thoughts and ideas of W.E.B. DuBois. Reed does a masterful job of framing DuBois' thinking relative to the era that produced him. The book also speaks wonderfully about the reason why the "double consciousness" language in the "Souls of Black Folk" has become so popular among contemporary Black elites. Must read book that puts DuBois in his proper context.
