WEB Du Bois's book on suppressing Atlantic slave trade was for a long time *the* textbook, he published 1st US urban sociology, he came up with the now-standard historiography of Reconstruction, and came up with one of the clearest expositions of the epistemic case for democracy.
I understand that people really want DuBois to be great, and he’s pretty good, but wanting isn’t enough.

The Scholar Denied is an argument for Du Bois Is Great And Deeply Under-appreciated. But, like, I don't know you, and so can't tell if this is just another I Am An Eternally Angry White Guy On The Internet Who Is Always Deeply Unhappy When People Praise Women Or Coloureds thing.
