Laburpena

120 years ago, it was published The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a well-known book in the United States both inside and outside of academia. This article examines the historical context in which it appeared, a context marked by racial segregation and traces of slavery; then the meaning of the book is exposed, proposing that it be read as a kind of «the art of the fugue» around a theme: the struggles of black folk to achieve freedom and equality with respect to whites. The variants of the theme in the fourteen chapters of the book are analyzed below and it is shown how a new language appears that will be the basis of the civil rights movement of the sixties of the twentieth century and also some parts of the speech «I have a dream» by Martin Luther King Jr.
