This book provides a new interpretation of the life of W.E.B. Du
Bois, one of the most important African American scholars and
thinkers of the 20th century. This revealing biography captures the
full life of W.E.B. Du Bois-historian, sociologist, author, editor,
and a leader in the fight to bring African Americans more fully
into the American landscape as well as a forceful proponent of
their leaving America altogether and returning to Africa. Drawing
on extensive research and including new primary documents,
sidebars, and analysis, Gerald Horne and Charisse Burden-Stelly
offer a portrait of this remarkable man, paying special attention
to the often-overlooked radical decades at the end of Du Bois's
life. The book also highlights Du Bois's relationships with and
influence on civil rights activists, intellectuals, and freedom
fighters, among them Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, Shirley
Graham Du Bois, Louise Thompson Patterson, William Alphaeus Hunton,
and Martin Luther King, Jr. The biography includes a selection of
primary source documents, including personal letters, speeches,
poems, and newspaper articles, that provide insight into Du Bois's
life based on his own words and analysis. Provides a comprehensive
overview of the life and times of W.E.B. Du Bois Takes an
interdisciplinary approach to his life and works Traces his
radicalization over time Pays particular attention to the effects
of the Cold War and anticommunism on his philosophy Provides key
primary documents with explanations of their significance
