About this book

In a period marked by profound racial tensions and the struggle for identity, "The Conservation of Races" by W. E. B. Du Bois emerges as a pivotal scholarly work. This Occasional Paper No. 2 from The American Negro Academy delves into the intricate dynamics of race and the necessity for cultural unity among African Americans. Du Bois articulates the concept of "double consciousness," exploring the internal conflict faced by Black individuals in a racially divided society. He also emphasizes the importance of preserving distinct cultural identities amid societal pressures. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document serves as a vital resource for understanding the historical context of race relations and the ongoing quest for equality.
