W. E. B. Du Bois and the Study of Black Humanity

Scholars have often viewed Du Bois as a Eurocentric thinker concerned with Black people yet inhibited by his Eurocentric method from a thorough study of them. This essay shows the opposite. Du Bois clearly sought new methods and philosophical foundations for studying Black humanity. His work is the earliest engagement with the philosophical and scientific assumptions and foundations of the White supremacist study of Black humanity. He seeks out through theory, philosophy, and empirical and historical studies ways to study Africans from the standpoint of being an African. In most respects, he achieved his goal. The author terms his achievement an epistemic rupture and revolutionary breakthrough in knowledge
