Description
Du Bois compiled for the American Negro Exhibit at the 1900 Paris Exposition, Shawn Michelle Smith reveals the visual dimension of the color line that Du Bois famously called ?the problem of the twentieth century.? She contends that Du Bois was an early visual theorist of race and racism and demonstrates how such an understanding makes the important concepts he developed?including double consciousness, the color line, the Veil, and second sight?available to visual culture and African American studies scholars in powerful new ways.
