Du Bois","description":"\u003cp\u003eKarl Marx  Max Weber  and Emile Durkheim are widely recognized as the trinity of sociological theory. While these three sociologists were trailblazing social theorists who enhanced the study of human behavior and its relationship to social institutions  other  more contemporary scholars were just as innovative - one of those scholars being W. E. B. Du Bois. W. E. B. Du Bois was a political and literary giant of the 20th century  publishing over twenty books and thousand of essays and articles throughout his life. In The Social Theory of W. E. B. Du Bois  editor Phil Zuckerman assembles Du Boiss work from a wide variety of sources  including articles Du Bois published in newspapers  speeches he delivered  selections from well-known classics such as The Souls of Black Folk and Darkwater and lesser-known  hard-to-find material written by this revolutionary social theorist. W. E. B Du Bois is arguably one of the most imaginative  perceptive  and prolific founders of the sociological discipline. In addition to leading the Pan-African movement and being an activist for civil rights for African Americans  Du Bois was a pioneer of urban sociology  an innovator of rural sociology  a leader in criminology  the first American sociologist of religion  and most notably the first great social theorist of race.

This volume covers topics such as the meaning of race  race relations  international relations  economics  labor  politics  religion  crime  gender  and education.  The Social Theory of W. E. B. Du Bois offers an excellent introduction to the sociological theory of one of the 20th centurys intellectual beacons.
