'Marable's biography of Du Bois is the best so far available.' Dr.
Herbert Aptheker, Editor, The Correspondence of W.E.B. Du Bois
'Marable's excellent study focuses on the social thought of a major
black American thinker who exhibited a 'basic coherence and unity'
throughout a multifaceted career stressing cultural pluralism,
opposition to social inequality, and black pride.' Library Journal
Distinguished historian and social activist Manning Marable's book,
W. E. B. Du Bois: Black Radical Democrat, brings out the
interconnections, unity, and consistency of W. E. B. Du Bois's life
and writings. Marable covers Du Bois's disputes with Booker T.
Washington, his founding of the NAACP, his work as a social
scientist, his life as a popular figure, and his involvement in
politics, placing them into the context of Du Bois's views on black
pride, equality, and cultural diversity. Marable stresses that, as
a radical democrat, Du Bois viewed the problems of racism as
intimately connected with capitalism. The publication of this
updated edition follows more than one hundred celebrations recently
marking the 100th anniversary of Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk.
Marable broadens earlier biographies with a new introduction
highlighting Du Bois's less-known advocacy of women's suffrage,
socialism, and peace and he traces his legacy to today in an era of
changing racial and social conditions.
