W.E.B. Du Bois: Propagandist of the Negro Protest.

—

---

Second edition, issued under a new title, with a new preface by Louis Harlan and an epilogue by the author. Rudwick explores W.E.B. Du Bois’s uncompromising and often embattled pursuit of racial equality and integration in every sphere of American life. Du Bois, as Rudwick shows, spared no one—challenging the emerging Black intelligentsia and confronting white Americans to address the “Negro problem.”

According to Rudwick, Du Bois “made a career of seeking to popularize the unpopular cause of race equality, choosing to live intimately with frustration rather than with smashing success.” In his lifelong search for a path to integration, Du Bois battled Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Communists, and labor unions, as well as Black leaders such as Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, and Walter White, who questioned the practicality of his demands.
