Un-American is Bill Mullen's revisionist account of renowned author
and activist W.E.B. Du Bois's political thought toward the end of
his life, a period largely dismissed and neglected by scholars. He
describes Du Bois's support for what the Communist International
called "world revolution" as the primary objective of this aged
radical's activism. Du Bois was a champion of the world's laboring
millions and critic of the Cold War, a man dedicated to animating
global political revolution. Mullen argues that Du Bois believed
that the Cold War stalemate could create the conditions in which
the world powers could achieve not only peace but workers'
democracy. Un-American shows Du Bois to be deeply engaged in
international networks and personal relationships with
revolutionaries in India, China, and Africa. Mullen explores how
thinkers like Karl Marx, Jawaharlal Nehru, Mohandas Gandhi, and
C.L.R. James helped him develop a theory of world revolution at a
stage in his life when most commentators regard him as
marginalized. This original political biography also challenges
assessments of Du Bois as an American "race man."
