Book Synopsis
Nahum Dimitri Chandler offers a philosophical interpretation of W. E. B. Du Bois's 1897 American Negro Academy address, The Conservation of Races, proposing both a close reading of Du Bois's engagement of the concept of race and a meditation on Du Bois's conceptualization of historicity.

Trade Review

"A complex and detailed philosophical analysis of W.E.B. Du Bois’ early thought. ... Chandler’s a sophisticated thinker and crafty wordsmith with broad knowledge, a vast vocabulary, and a writing style ripe with complex analytic musing and artistic stylization."

-- Sean Elias * Ethnic and Racial Studies *
