About the Book

John Brown: The Oxford W.E.B. Du Bois is a groundbreaking biography of one of the most important and influential African Americans of the 20th century. W.E.B. Du Bois was a pioneering sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, and Pan-Africanist. He was a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and served as its first director of research. Du Bois also wrote extensively on race, politics, and culture, and his work has had a profound impact on the development of African American thought and activism.

This biography by David Levering Lewis, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, draws on a wealth of new research to provide a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of Du Bois's life and work. Lewis traces Du Bois's journey from his early years as a slave in Massachusetts to his rise as a leading intellectual and activist. He explores Du Bois's complex relationships with other African American leaders, such as Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey, as well as his lifelong commitment to fighting for racial equality.

John Brown: The Oxford W.E.B. Du Bois is a must-read for anyone interested in African American history, the civil rights movement, or the life and work of one of the most important intellectuals of the 20th century.
