W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk , 1903
Embryonic intersectionality
As a brief exercise in the critical sociology of sociology, this article demonstrates W.E.B. Du Bois’s undeniable contributions to the history, discourse, and development of American sociology in particular, and the wider world of sociology in general. This dialectical approach to Du Bois’s sociological discourse will enable objective interpreters of his work to see that when compared and contrasted with the monumental work of Karl Marx, Max Webe…
“I Believe in Socialism as Well as Democracy”
In 1951 Du Bois was indicted by the U.S. federal government for being an agent of a foreign state as a result of his work with the Peace Information Center, an organization committed to peace activism and nuclear disarmament. As detailed in his often-overlooked 1952 book, In Battle for Peace: The Story of My 83rd Birthday, the then eighty-two-year-old Du Bois was arrested, handcuffed, searched for concealed weapons, fingerprinted, briefly jailed,…

In the most general sense, the African Renaissance entails Africans combatting the racialization, colonization, and neo-colonization of Africa and committing to the decolonization, re-Africanization, and liberation of Africa. When Amilcar Cabral and Frantz Fanon’s radical theory and revolutionary praxis (i.e., Cabralism and Fanonism, respectively) are placed into critical dialog a groundbreaking dialectic of revolutionary decolonization and revol…
Amílcar Cabral
This chapter assesses the philosophical thoughts of Bissau Guinean revolutionary, Amilcar Cabral, who was greatly influenced by Fanon. Rabaka analyses Cabral’s critical theories of revolutionary decolonization and revolutionary re-Africanization
Amilcar Cabral, Cabralism, and Pan-Africanism
The important thing is to proceed to critical analysis of African cultures in the light of the liberation movement and the demands of progress – in the light of this new stage in the history of Africa. This chapter discusses in detail in Concepts of Cabralism: Amilcar Cabral and Africana Critical Theory, colonialism and other forms of imperialism were the greatest obstacles to social transformation and authentic human liberation in Cape Verde and…

Conceptual Coup d’État
Bref exercice de critique de la sociologie, cet article démontre les contributions indéniables de W. E. B. Du Bois à l'histoire, au discours et au développement de la sociologie américaine en particulier, et au monde de la sociologie en général. Cette approche dialectique du discours sociologique de Du Bois permettra aux interprètes objectifs de son œuvre de constater que, par comparaison et contraste avec l'œuvre monumentale de Karl Marx, Max We…
Concepts of Cabralism
By examining Amilcar Cabral’s theories and praxes, as well as several of the antecedents and major influences on the evolution of his radical politics and critical social theory, Concepts of Cabralism:Amilcar Cabral and Africana Critical Theory simultaneously reintroduces, chronicles, and analyzes several of the core characteristics of the Africana tradition of critical theory. Reiland Rabaka’s primary preoccupation is with Cabral’s theoretical a…
Revolutionary Fanonism
It is important, at the outset, for us not to confuse what I am calling “revolutionary Fanonism” with Henry Louis Gates Jr's conception of “critical Fanonism.” For Gates “critical Fanonism” entails
Against Epistemic Apartheid
In this intellectual history-making volume, multiple award-winning W. E. B. Du Bois scholar Reiland Rabaka offers the first book-length treatment of Du Bois's seminal sociological discourse: from Du Bois as inventor of the sociology of race to Du Bois as the first sociologist of American religion; from Du Bois as a pioneer of urban and rural sociology to Du Bois as innovator of the sociology of gender and inaugurator of intersectional sociology; …
Africana Critical Theory
Building on and going far beyond W.E.B. Du Bois and the Problems of the Twenty-First Century and Du Bois's Dialectics, Reiland Rabaka's Africana Critical Theory innovatively identifies and analyzes continental and diasporan African contributions to classical and contemporary critical theory. This book represents a climatic critical theoretical clincher that cogently demonstrates how Du Bois's rarely discussed dialectical thought, interdisciplinar…
The Souls of White Folk
The Souls of Black Radical Folk
W. E. B. Du Bois provides an important, though often overlooked, Africana history, culture, and philosophy – informed framework for (a) redeveloping Africana studies and relating it to the crises and conundrums of the 21st century; (b) reconstructing critical social theory, making it more multicultural, transethnic, transgender, and non-Western European–philosophy focused; and (c) reinventing what it means to be an insurgent intellectualactivist …
The Souls of White Folk
Traditionally “white supremacy” has been treated in race and racism discourse as white domination of and white discrimination against non-whites, and especially blacks. It is a term that often carries a primarily legal and political connotation, which has been claimed time and time again to be best exemplified by the historic events and contemporary effects of: African holocaust, enslavement and colonization; the “failure” of reconstruction, the …
W.E.B. Du Bois and “The damnation of women”
W.E.B. Du Bois's Evolving Africana Philosophy Of Education
The aim of this article is to analyze W.E.B. Du Bois's educational thought for its key contributions to contemporary Africana philosophy of education. To succinctly explore Du Bois's philosophy of education, the article outlines some of the ways his pedagogical theories and practices are inextricable from, and virtually incomprehensible without critically considering, his philosophy of history, concepts of culture, economic thought, and social an…
Malcolm X and/as Critical Theory
The principle objective of this article is to examine Malcolm X as a critical theorist. Malcolm is viewed as a significant contributor to the Africana tradition of critical theory as articulated by several Africana Studies scholars and Africana philosophers in specific. This article argues that Malcolm's social and political philosophy provides radical theorists with a new paradigm and point of departure for developing an Africana critical theory…
