Reviews

"""An incredible achievement. This work makes Du Bois accessible in whole new ways and does so with great pathos and sensitivity. I don't know how you can read this book and not be moved and outraged. Outraged, because it's all still so relevant. That I have to type that gives me a vertiginous feeling, but it's true, and in that sense, it's incredibly timely.""--Nick Abadzis ""author of Laika"" ""In this wonderfully innovative collaboration of image and text, Buhle, Boyd, and Peart-Smith present a graphic W.E.B. Du Bois whose immemorial words are so brilliantly visualized that Souls will speak to generations to come. Buhle, Boyd, and Peart-Smith's offering is superb."" --David Levering Lewis ""Pulitzer Prize recipient for W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919"""

"“In this wonderfully innovative collaboration of image and text, Buhle, Boyd, and Peart-Smith present a graphic W.E.B. Du Bois whose immemorial words are so brilliantly visualized that Souls will speak to generations to come. Buhle, Boyd, and Peart-Smith's offering is superb.”   -- David Levering Lewis * Pulitzer Prize recipient for W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919 * ""[A] masterpiece...Peart-Smith’s work in this text expresses the pain, frustration and the joy DuBois’ text is known for. The art is both realistic and dreamlike....This retelling of The Souls of Black Folk deserves a place among the pantheon of great graphic texts like Art Spiegelman’s Maus and Alan Moore’s The Watchmen.""  -- Ron Jacobs * CounterPunch * ""[A] masterful graphic adaptation and edited interpretation...[I]n their stylistic and artistic representation of Du Bois’s Souls of Black Folk, Peart-Smith, Buhle, and Boyd provide the public and the world of academia with a stellar presentation and remembrance of Du Bois’s pungent polemic and profound prophecy."" -- Patrick Delices * Portside * ""An incredible achievement. This work makes Du Bois accessible in whole new ways and does so with great pathos and sensitivity. I don’t know how you can read this book and not be moved and outraged. Outraged, because it’s all still so relevant.
