Based on his Harvard University doctoral dissertation, The Suppression of the African Slave-Trade to the United States of America, 1638-1870 (1896) was Du Bois' first book. It was published in the Harvard Historical Studies as Volume No. 1 (NY: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1896). Suppression (SAST) received much comment, often generally favorable, and was widely cited in contemporary works from the scholarly and popular presses.
