Annotations: On the Early Thought of W. E. B. Du Bois
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
"Beyond This Narrow Now": Or, Delimitations, of W. E. B. Du Bois
In "Beyond This Narrow Now" Nahum Dimitri Chandler shows that the premises of W. E. B. Du Bois's thinking at the turn of the twentieth century stand as fundamental references for the whole itinerary of his thought. Opening with a distinct approach to the legacy of Du Bois, Chandler proceeds through a series of close readings of Du Bois's early essays, previously unpublished or seldom studied, with discrete annotations of The Souls of Black Folk: …

The Problem of the Color Line at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: The Essential Early Essays
This volume assembles essential essays—some published only posthumously, others obscure, another only recently translated—by W. E. B. Du Bois from 1894 to early 1906. They show the first formulations of some of his most famous ideas, namely, "the veil," "double-consciousness," and the "problem of the color line." Moreover, the deep historical sense of the formation of the modern world that informs Du Bois’s thought and gave rise to his understand…
Introduction: Dry and Heavy: Or, Another Poetics and Another Writing-ofHistory and the Future
For the texts of W. E. B. Du Bois, the 37 volumes of The Complete Published Writings of W. E. B. Du Bois, published by Kraus-Thomson, edited and introduced by the late Herbert Aptheker, from 1973 to 1986, remains the best and most comprehensive source. (For specific citations one may consult the bibliography of a recent collection of his early essays [Du Bois 2015].)Several scholars, colleagues, and former students—not otherwise noted in the thre…

X—The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Thought
X-The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Thought
This book offers an original account of matters African American within the context of modernity understood as an epistemic horizon. With special reference to the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, X shows how a concern with the Negro is central to the historical problematization that underwrote 20th century explorations of what it means to exist as an historical entity. If for Du Bois, "the problem of the color line" coincides with the modern horizon, th…

The Theoretical Itinerary of a Perspective—1897-1909 In the first public articulation of the first stage of his intellectual maturation, in a lecture presented at the inaugural session of the American Negro Academy in early March of 1897, W.

Of Horizon: An Introduction to “The Afro-American” by W. E. B. Du Bois—circa 1894
This article offers an introduction to the hitherto unpublished early essay by W. E. B. Du Bois, “The Afro-American.” More precisely it outlines the problematic of the essay and places the essay amidst Du Bois’s writings of the 1890s and the production of the text that became The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches of 1903. In so doing it proposes a path for the initial reading of this essay by rendering thematic the worldwide horizon that f…

The Figure of W. E. B. Du Bois as a Problem for Thought Nahum D. Chandler (bio) The nineteenth century was the first century of human sympathy—the age when half-wonderingly we began to descry in others that transfigured spark of divinity which we call Myself; when clodhoppers and peasants, and tramps and thieves and millionaires and—sometimes—Negroes, became throbbing souls whose warm pulsing life touched us so nearly that we half gasped with sur…

The Souls of an Ex-White Man: W. E. B. Du Bois and the Biography of John Brown
DEATH ALWAYS COMES AT LEAST TWICE TO ONE WHOSE LIFE IS MARKED BY greatness, once in life and again in biography. And, more radically, if death is always at least double, then it most assuredly is never only double. One death always begets more death. If death, however, is understood first of all or only as loss, then the rich drama, the generosity, of this incessant doubling will most assuredly remain closed up and withdrawn. The difficulty of tr…
