The verdict
Scholar Denied
GOOD PRICE.
This book argues that W. E. B. Du Bois, not Robert E. Park, should be recognized as a founder of modern sociology in America. Aldon Morris uses extensive primary source research to show how Du Bois developed rigorous sociological methods and theory, but was deliberately sidelined by the academic establishment while Park and others received credit for establishing the discipline.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The book challenges the standard history taught in sociology courses, so it's useful if you want to understand how racial politics shaped which scholars got recognized as important.
- Morris spent a decade researching this, so it's based on detailed archival work rather than a quick reinterpretation of existing accounts.
- It's aimed at people interested in American intellectual history and racial inequality, not just sociology specialists, so it works as a broader history book too.
As of Aug 31, the Scholar Denied is a good price at $18.59 — versus a $19.74 typical price and a $15.60 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
