Download W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet: Politics and Culture in Modern America AudioBook Free
Pioneering historian, sociologist, editor, novelist, poet, and organizer W. E. B. Du Bois was one of the primary African American intellectuals of the 20th century. While Du Bois is appreciated for his monumental efforts to scholarship or grant and civil protection under the law activism, the spiritual aspects of his work have been misinterpreted, even negated. W. E. B. Du Bois, North american Prophet, the first spiritual biography of this leader, illuminates the spirituality that is essential to understanding his attempts and achievements in the politics and intellectual world. Often tagged an atheist, Du Bois is at simple fact deeply and creatively involved with faith. Historian Edward J. Blum discloses how spirituality was central to Du Bois' method of Marxism, pan-Africanism, and nuclear disarmament, his support for dark churches, and his reckoning of the spiritual wage of white supremacy. His writings, teachings, and prayers offered as articles of trust for fellow activists of his day, from university student book-club users to Langston Hughes. A mixture of record, sociology, literary criticism, and spiritual reflection in the model of Du Bois's best work, W. E. B. Du Bois, North american Prophet recasts the life of this great visionary and intellectual for a fresh technology of scholars and activists.
