audiobook Beyond Jihad: The Pacifist Tradition in West African Islam by Lamin Sanneh in History

Description

W. E. B. Du Bois was a public intellectual; sociologist; and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP; as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas; including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels; autobiographical accounts; innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces; and several works of history.Collected in one volume for the first time; The World and Africa and Color and Democracy are two of W E. B. Du Bois's most powerful essays on race. He explores how to tell the story of those left out of recorded history; the evils of colonialism worldwide; and Africa's and African's contributions to; and neglect from; world history. More than six decades after W. E. B. Du Bois wrote The World and Africa and Color and Democracy; they remain worthy guides for the twenty-first century. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates; Jr.; and two introductions by top African scholars; this edition is essential for anyone interested in world history.
