5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful

Remarkable and fascinating. A lot of interesting ideas and pieces of history to dig out from this at a later date but Du Bois does a good job of sketching the incredible influence of the African on America.
I and many in our country need to work harder to know and understand history.

Free labor is the back bone of the Industrial Revolution. Without that free labor America wouldn't have ever been a super power. So America pay up in the form of reparations!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A new perspective
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2012

The Gift of Black Folk is a comprehensive analytical perspective of the role of African Americans in the development of American culture. WEB Dubois presents excellent analysis of the ways in which our culture was shaped by Blacks an many levels, including economic impact, role in war, religious and cultural impact on the America we have come to be. Some of the sources he cites were previously completely unknown to me, despite my considering myself a fairly enlightened person of pallor. It is a little dated as it is not a current work, but definitely lays the foundation for how our culture has been shaped from the beginning. A highly recommended read.

I came across this book from a reference to another book I was reading. How can such a hidden treasure not be on the forefront of one of the best books?
