Description
W.E.B. Du Bois was one of the most profound and influential African American intellectuals of the 20th century. His tenacious engagement with racism, and his contributions to African American studies are well known. Yet scholarly attention to his work has been sporadic and uneven. This collection of essays is intended as both an addition and spur to the current renaissance of interest in Du Bois's work. Interpreting Du Bois's thoughts on race and culture in a broadly philosophical sense, this volume assembles essays by philosophers, literary critics, historians and sociologists in the field of Du Bois scholarship. Its three sections engage in a critical dialogue on different important theoritical and practical issues that concerned Du Bois throughout his long career: the conundrum of race, the issue of gender equality, and the perplexities of pan-Africanism.
