The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The biography goes beyond Du Bois's public persona to explore the political forces behind the Harlem Renaissance and the personal toll of his activism, including his experiences during the Communist witch-hunts of the mid-20th century.
- This is a substantial scholarly work that draws on extensive research, so it's more of a deep dive than a quick read. It's best suited for readers who want thorough historical context rather than a brief overview.
- The book covers Du Bois's later life and controversial choices, including his eventual move to Ghana, which shows how his views and circumstances evolved over decades of struggle.
As of Aug 31, the W.E.B. Du Bois is a good price at $11.99 — versus a $11.19 typical price and a $3.36 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
