Sobre este áudio

Pioneering historian, sociologist, editor, novelist, poet, and organizer W. E. B. Du Bois was one of the foremost African American intellectuals of the 20th century. While Du Bois is remembered for his monumental contributions to scholarship and civil rights activism, the spiritual aspects of his work have been misunderstood, even negated. W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet, the first religious biography of this leader, illuminates the spirituality that is essential to understanding his efforts and achievements in the political and intellectual world. 

Often labeled an atheist, Du Bois was in fact deeply and creatively involved with religion. Historian Edward J. Blum reveals how spirituality was central to Du Bois' approach to Marxism, pan-Africanism, and nuclear disarmament, his support for Black churches, and his reckoning of the spiritual wage of white supremacy. His writings, teachings, and prayers served as articles of faith for fellow activists of his day, from student book-club members to Langston Hughes. 

A blend of history, sociology, literary criticism, and religious reflection in the model of Du Bois's best work, W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet recasts the life of this great visionary and intellectual for a new generation of scholars and activists.

Resumo da Crítica

"This book is a marvelous probing into the unknown and unexplored dimension of the great W. E. B. Du Bois's life and work: his self-styled religious and spiritual temperament. Edward Blum is to be congratulated for this grand contribution!" (Cornel West, Princeton University)
"Blum's work powerfully evokes both the spirit and substance of Du Bois' moral vision in ways that will greatly benefit students and scholars of American religious and intellectual history for years to come." ( Journal of American History)
"A greater tribute to the man cannot be found, even in the works of the most seasoned Du Bois scholars." ( Church History)
