<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>When two young people are given a life-changing opportunity they encounter moral and systemic challenges that are directly tied to their racial and economic backgrounds.</b> In <i>The Quest of the Silver Fleece</i>, W.E.B. Du Bois confronts covert discrimination in contemporary America.</p> <p>Cotton, also known as "silver fleece," is still a prized possession in the early-twentieth century. It continues to generate massive profits that are barely distributed amongst its predominantly Black workforce. Zora is a child of the South, and Bles, is a man with Northern sensibilities--yet, they both feel the weight of oppression. Set in Alabama and Washington D.C., <i>The Quest of the Silver Fleece</i> examines the struggle for upward mobility and the compromises to sustain it.</p> <p> As a sociologist, Du Bois explores the ongoing effects of racial inequality in both the North and South. With <i>The Quest of the Silver Fleece</i>, he highlights the glaring disparity between the white establishment and African American labor. It's an explicit indictment of continued oppression in a post-slavery society.</p> <p>With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of <i>The Quest of the Silver Fleece</i> is both modern and readable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A couple on opposite sides of the political spectrum join forces to gain economic power. <i>The Quest of the Silver Fleece</i>, by <b>W.E.B. Du Bois</b>, was the first novel written by the esteemed scholar and activist. It depicts the complex relationship between the producers and beneficiaries of the cotton industry.</p>
