W.E.B. du Bois

Since we are reading some du Bois for today, I thought I would point you in the direction of this blog by Amy Hillier at UPenn. Hillier is less interested in du Bois as a theorist than as an empirical sociologist, who sought to map the social structure of African Americans living in areas of Philadelphia during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Take a look!

Good day, sorry to be blog browsing, but I ran across your blog and I know Hillier's work pretty well. I wanted you to know that a few months ago I published a religious biography of Du Bois, one that looks at how ideas of the spiritual influenced his social theorizing (and history, and sense of self, and move to communism). It it titled _W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet_ and I hope you'll take a look. If you do, please drop me a line to let me know what you think. Best, Edward J. Blum, San Diego State University
