"Black Reconstruction disclosed as brilliantly as 'The Souls of White Folk,' written a quarter-century earlier, the interlocked perniciousness of democracy and race in America, what it might well have called the metaphysics of class and skin color... Analytical yet intuitive, densely researched but impressionistic, judicious and sweeping, Black Reconstruction pushed the figurative beyond the bounds of the historically permissible in its determination to integrate black labor into a Marxian schematic of proletarian overcoming" (David Levering Lewis: W. E. B. Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963, pp. 372-73).
