Black reconstruction
Book • 1935
Published in 1935, 'Black Reconstruction in America' challenges the dominant views of the time by portraying the Reconstruction period as a critical time of Black advancement and a near-revolution of anti-racism and societal change.
Du Bois argues that African Americans were active agents of their emancipation and that the period was a second American revolution aimed at democratizing the South.
The book critiques traditional historians' views and highlights the significance of African American agency in building U.S.
democracy, despite the ultimate failure of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws.
