Biography
Manning Marable
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION
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. Marable characterizes DuBois -- a critic of Booker T. Washington and a founder of the NAACP -- as a social scientist drawn "reluctantly" to politics, which was "inseparable in his mind from moral imperatives." A valuable and useful study recommended for academic and public libraries.Library Journal
