Abstract

Much of what is known about W.E.B. Du Bois comes down to his political activism for civil rights and against segregation, the Pan-African movement and the liberation struggles of African colonies. Appiah's proposal (2014) is to present W.E.B Du Bois' intellectual genealogy and academic pathways. And in this way, to show him as one of the canons of Sociology in the United States, as well as one of the postcolonial thought percursors, and his contributions to thinking about (black) identity, community of memory, culture and cosmopolitanism.
