E. B. Du Bois's thinking at the turn of the twentieth century on the entire trajectory of his intellectual journey. Chandler begins by offering a unique perspective on Du Bois's legacy, delving into a series of close readings of his early essays, previously unpublished or seldom studied, accompanied by discrete annotations of \"The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches\" from 1903. Through these meticulous analyses, Chandler elucidates and expands upon fundamental epistemological concepts central to Du Bois's thought. He also pays theoretical attention to how Du Bois views the African American as a paradigmatic example of possibility, challenging traditional ontological frameworks. Moreover, Chandler suggests that Du Bois's renowned phrase, \"the problem of the color line,\" holds greater conceptual depth than has been previously recognized, with relevance to our understanding of modern systems of enslavement, imperial colonialism, and the early stages of modern capitalism. Chandler's work stands as a testament to a more profound engagement with Du Bois, advocating for a re-reading, appreciation, and scholarly study of his works as a philosophical writer and thinker contemporaneous to our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 476g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781478014805\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nahum Dimitri Chandler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095581290746,"sku":"9781478014805","price":21.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646174167172_book.jpg?v=1646921685","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/beyond-this-narrow-now-or-delimitations-of-w-e-b-du-bois-9781478014805","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
