Du Bois's 'The Souls of White Folk' is an essay that critiques the concept of whiteness and its role in perpetuating racial inequality.

Written as a counterpart to his earlier work, 'The Souls of Black Folk,' Du Bois examines the psychological and social constructs of whiteness and its impact on global power dynamics.

He argues that the belief in white supremacy has led to the exploitation and oppression of people of color.

The essay challenges readers to confront the historical and ongoing injustices rooted in racial prejudice and to work towards a more equitable and just society.
