{"product_id":"9780307419224","title":"Saving the Race: Conversations on Du Bois from A Collective Memoir Of Souls","description":"W.E.B. Du Bois’s \u003ci\u003eThe Souls of Black Folk \u003c\/i\u003eis one of the most influential books ever published in this country. In it, Du Bois wrote that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” a prophecy that is as fresh and poignant today as when it first appeared in print in 1903.  Now, one hundred years after \u003ci\u003eThe Souls of Black Folk\u003c\/i\u003e was first published, \u003ci\u003eSaving the Race \u003c\/i\u003ereexamines the legacy of Du Bois and his “color line” prophecy from a modern viewpoint. The author, Rebecca Carroll, a biracial woman who was reared by white parents, not only provides her own personal perspective, but she invites eighteen well-known African Americans to share their ideas and opinions about what Du Bois's classic text means today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLalita Tademy, author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStanley Crouch, cultural critic, novelist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA’Lelia Bundles, great-great-granddaughter of Madame C.J.
