The Conclusion of W. E. B. DuBois's Book

For a discussion of the use of items such as this, see Writing at the Threshold, pages 31-33.

Also please note:
DuBois's text makes a good–I mean, challenging but not unreasonable–test of reading comprehension skills. If the text as a whole appears to be too much for students to summarize, use just the first section, "How the Question Arose."
