杜波伊斯的自传《破晓时分》紧紧围绕“种族”这一大主题,比较全面地揭示种族的内涵及其变化,有意识地把个人生平融入社会背景,以个人自传的形式反映乃至镌刻美国以及世界范围内的黑人种族历史,为后来的研究者留下了珍贵的历史记录。 Dubois’s autobiography Dawn of Dawn closely centers on the major theme of “race”, revealing the connotation and changes of races in a more comprehensive manner, consciously integrating personal life into the social background, reflecting in the form of individual autobiography, and even Engraving the history of black race in the United States and around the world, leaving a precious historical record for later researchers.
