W.E.B. Du Bois spent many decades fighting to ensure that African
Americans could claim their place as full citizens and thereby
fulfill the deeply compromised ideals of American democracy. Yet he
died in Africa, having apparently given up on the United States. In
this tour-de-force, Elvira Basevich examines this paradox by
tracing the development of his life and thought and the relevance
of his legacy to our troubled age. She adroitly analyses the main
concepts that inform Du Bois's critique of American democracy, such
as the color line and double consciousness, before examining how
these concepts might inform our understanding of contemporary
struggles, from Black Lives Matter to the campaign for reparations
for slavery. She stresses the continuity in Du Bois's thought, from
his early writings to his later embrace of self-segregation and
Pan-Africanism, while not shying away from assessing the
challenging implications of his later work. This wonderful book
vindicates the power of Du Bois's thought to help transform a
stubbornly unjust world. It is essential reading for racial justice
activists as well as students of African American philosophy and
political thought.
