Description

A superior signed and inscribed first edition of David Levering Lewis’s Pulitzer Prize–winning second volume on W.E.B. Du Bois — a landmark biography covering 1919–1963 and charting Du Bois’s profound impact on civil rights, American identity, and global thought during the 20th century.

Lewis is one of the most honored biographers in American letters, and inscribed copies of this major work — especially with a second signature on the title page — are genuinely uncommon. A clean, tight, collector-level copy in protective Brodart.
