A Novel
Honoree Fanonne Jeffers
This epic novel chronicles the journey of one American family from the colonial slave trade to our present era.

Du Bois, fights a battle for belonging and identity as she unravels the shocking tales of her Indigenous, Black, and white ancestors. "The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois" is a National Book Award-longlisted, magisterial epic with all the luminescence and force of "Homegoing" and "Sing, Unburied, Sing."
