Historian, journalist, educator, and civil rights advocate W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps most accomplished as a sociologist of race relations and of the black community in the United States. This volume collects his most important sociological writings from 1898 to 1910. The eighteen selections include five on Du Bois's conception of sociology and sociological research, especially as a tool in the struggle for racial justice; excerpts from studies of black communities in the South and the North, including The Philadelphia Negro; writings on black culture and social life, with a selection from The Negro American Family; and later works on race relations in the United States and elsewhere after World War II. This section includes a powerful fiftiethanniversary reassessment of his classic 1901 article in the Atlantic in which he predicted that 'the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.'The editors provide an annotated bibliography, a lengthy overview of Du Bois's life and work, and detailed introductions to the selections.'The most significant contribution of this book is its inclusive look at Du Bois as both academic and activist. . . . Individuals interested in the study of social issues and political sociology would benefit from reading and discussing this book.'Paul Kriese, Sociology: Reviews of New Books'Green and Driver, informing this volume with a 48page essay that summarizes Du Bois' career and places him in the context of the profession, have intelligently organized his writings. . . . A welcome contribution that should have wide use.'Elliott Rudwick, Contemporary Sociology
