摘要
W.E.B. Du Bois's writings on Reconstruction show the author using number as an important rhetorical device, one by which he advances a version of personhood that is constructed, contingent, and state-mediated. This essay attends to the literary implications of such uses of quantification. © 2015 The Author.
