In Annotations Nahum Dimitri Chandler offers a philosophical
interpretation of W. E. B. Du Bois’s 1897 American Negro Academy
address, “The Conservation of Races.” Chandler approaches Du
Bois as a generative and original philosophical thinker-writer on
the status and historical implication of matters of human
difference, both the fact of and the very idea thereof. Chandler
proposes both a close reading of Du Bois’s engagement of the
concept of so-called race and a deep meditation on Du Bois’s
conceptualization of historicity in general. He elaborates on the
way Du Bois’s thought in this address can give an account of the
organization of the historicity that yields the emergence of
something like the African American, at once with its own internal
dimensions and yet also as an originary articulation of forces and
possibilities that have world historical implications. Chandler
refigures Du Bois’s thought as a vital theoretical resource for
rethinking our concepts of differences among humans and, so too,
our understanding of modern historicity itself.
