Book Description

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Oxford University Press, 1997. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Inscribed By Author. This book examines the totality of Du Bois' political thought, locating its sources in the reform-minded intellectual ferment at the turn of the century and arguing that a committment to liberal collectivism, an essentially Fabian socialism, remained pivotal in Du Bois' thought even as he embraced a range of political programs over time, including Marxism; it reveals that Du Bois' central beliefs concerning issues such as the relationship between knowledge and progress, social stratification among blacks, and proper social organization, endured with little change from their early formation in The Philadelphia Negro; the author examines the many different interpretations of Du Bois' thought, concentrating on contemporary views and criticizing influential readings of Du Bois' concept of double-consciousness; inscribed by author and dated 1/23/98 on front endpaper (black cloth with gold lettering; dust jacket with portrait of Du Bois on the front cover has slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
