Published posthumously in 1968, The Autobiography of W. E. B. Du Bois is Du Bois's last and most complete autobiography. The book delves into the 90-year-old Du Bois's thoughts on everything from his relationship with sex to his storied association with the NAACP to his political persecution during the Cold War years to his many travels abroad. Du Bois takes the reader on a journey to view my life as frankly and fully as I can." With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by Werner Sollors, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.
