Description
W.E.B. Du Bois's Data Portraits presents a groundbreaking collection of visualizations created by the renowned sociologist and black rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois. First exhibited at the 1900 Paris Exposition, these colorful charts, graphs, and maps offer a unique glimpse into the lives of black Americans. The book showcases Du Bois's innovative data portraits, which convey a powerful representation of the "color line" and its impact on black experience. From advances in education to the lingering effects of slavery, these infographics provide insightful commentary on the social and historical context of the time. A landmark collection for social and graphic design history, W.E.B. Du Bois's Data Portraits is a powerful and thought-provoking work that remains informative and relevant today. The book includes contributions from notable scholars and is an essential companion to Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk.
