The love songs of W.E.B. Du Bois : a novel / Honorée Fanonne Jeffers.

Love songs of W.E.B. DuBois (other title)
Jeffers, Honorée Fanonne, 1967- (author.).

Summary:

The great scholar W.E.B. Du Bois once wrote about what he called "Double Consciousness," a sensitivity that every African American possesses in order to survive. From an early age, Ailey fights a battle for belonging that's made all the more difficult by a hovering trauma. To come to terms with her own identity, Ailey embarks on a journey through her family's past. In doing so Ailey must learn to embrace her full heritage, a legacy of oppression and resistance, bondage and independence, cruelty and resilience that is the story - and the song - of America itself.
