Du Bois on Religion - - Bog - AltaMira Press - Plusbog.dk

Du Bois on Religion - - Bog - AltaMira Press - Plusbog.dk

W.E.B. Du Bois shaped 20th century America to an extent rivaled by few others. The first black to receive a Ph. D. from Harvard, he helped create the discipline of sociology and was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Martin Luther King, Jr. called Du Bois ''a gifted discoverer of social truths.'' But until now little academic attention has been paid to his insights on religion or to how religious commitments shaped his views of race, rights and justice. Phil Zuckerman here gathers together Du Bois''s writings on religion, and makes a compelling case for Du Bois to be recognized among the leading sociologists of religion. Du Bois on Religion includes selections from his well-known works such as The Souls of Black Folks to poems, prayers, stories and speeches less widely available. Brief, helpful introductions preface each of the twenty-six selections. Also, a general introduction traces Du Bois''s move from church-attending Christian to relentless critic of religion and evaluates Du Bois''s contributions to the study of religion. Du Bois on Religion is an important text for sociologists or for anyone interested in the history of race and religion in the United States.

W.E.B. Du Bois - Brian L. Johnson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

W.E.B. Du Bois - Brian L. Johnson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Brian L. Johnson''s remarkable biography of W.E.B. Du Bois describes the evolution of religious views from Du Bois''s birth until his resignation as editor of Crisis magazine in 1934. W.E.B. Du Bois: Toward Agnosticism, 1868-1934 traces Du Bois''s mounting skepticism through his earliest church experiences to his sociological training in Berlin culminating with his writings in Crisis magazine. Johnson argues that despite Du Bois''s frequent use of Protestant religious rhetoric, the mature Du Bois was a critic of African American religious organizations and their leaders, and a scientifically oriented agnostic who did not adhere to any religious orthodoxy.

The Social Theory of W.E.B. Du Bois - Philip Zuckerman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Social Theory of W.E.B. Du Bois - Philip Zuckerman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim are widely recognized as the trinity of sociological theory. While these three sociologists were trailblazing social theorists who enhanced the study of human behavior and its relationship to social institutions, other, more contemporary scholars were just as innovative - one of those scholars being W. E. B. Du Bois. W. E. B. Du Bois was a political and literary giant of the 20th century, publishing over twenty books and thousand of essays and articles throughout his life. In The Social Theory of W. E. B. Du Bois , editor Phil Zuckerman assembles Du Bois′s work from a wide variety of sources, including articles Du Bois published in newspapers, speeches he delivered, selections from well-known classics such as The Souls of Black Folk and Darkwater , and lesser-known, hard-to-find material written by this revolutionary social theorist. W. E. B Du Bois is arguably one of the most imaginative, perceptive, and prolific founders of the sociological discipline. In addition to leading the Pan-African movement and being an activist for civil rights for African Americans, Du Bois was a pioneer of urban sociology, an innovator of rural sociology, a leader in criminology, the first American sociologist of religion, and most notably the first great social theorist of race. The Social Theory of W. E. B. Du Bois is the first book to examine Du Bois′s writings from a sociological perspective and emphasize his theoretical contributions. This volume covers topics such as the meaning of race, race relations, international relations, economics, labor, politics, religion, crime, gender, and education. The Social Theory of W. E. B. Du Bois offers an excellent introduction to the sociological theory of one of the 20th century′s intellectual beacons. It is a dynamic text for undergraduate and graduate students studying sociological theory, African American studies, and race and ethnicity.

Reading Du Bois - Molefi Kete Asante - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Reading Du Bois - Molefi Kete Asante - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

A clear, critical, accessible, and ultimately hopeful discovery voyage through the seas of Du Bois''s language and ideas. Offering a vision both hopeful and thoughtful, Reading Du Bois is an Afrocentric reexamination of the work of one of the most important intellectuals of our time. Du Bois wanted to solve the issue of race dividing American society. Aaron X. Smith and Molefi Kete Asante take one of Du Bois''s key concepts, the idea that the problem of his century was going to be the color line, and demonstrate that such a reader of that concept provides fresh insights into our present interpersonal and political situation. The application of Du Bois''s concept such as the color line reveals the subject place of African American people is not merely a marginal space but rather a central space to all who seek to bring justice, democracy, and optimism.

Chinese Economists on Economic Reform - Collected Works of Du Runsheng - Du Runsheng - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Chinese Economists on Economic Reform - Collected Works of Du Runsheng - Du Runsheng - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book is part of a series which makes available to English-speaking audiences the work of the individual Chinese economists who were the architects of China’s economic reform. The series provides an inside view of China’s economic reform, revealing the thinking of the reformers themselves, unlike many other books on China’s economic reform which are written by outside observers. Du Runsheng (1913-) has made major contributions to policy making on land reform, rural development and science policy. Politically active from the 1930s, when he served as a guerrilla leader fighting Japanese aggression, and in the 1940s, when he was involved in the War of Liberation (1945-49), he has held many Chinese Communist Party posts. He was secretary-general of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the late 1950s, responsible for drafting the 1961 policy document which urged respect for intellectuals. Attacked and persecuted during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), he was for most of the 1980s in charge of research on rural economic reform and rural development strategies. The book is published in association with China Development Research Foundation , one of the leading economic and social think tanks in China, where many of the theoretical foundations and policy details of economic reform were formulated.

W.E.B. Du Bois and the Problems of the Twenty-First Century - Reiland Rabaka - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

W.E.B. Du Bois and the Problems of the Twenty-First Century - Reiland Rabaka - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

W. E. B. Du Bois and the Problems of the Twenty-First Century utilizes Du Bois''s thought and texts to develop an informed critical theory of contemporary society. This book broadens the base of critical theory, making it more multicultural, transethnic, transgender, and non-Western European philosophy focused by placing it in dialogue with theory and phenomena that had been heretofore woefully neglected. Taking the preeminent black intellectual of the twentieth century as his primary point of departure, Reiland Rabaka identifies and analyzes several key contributions that Du Bois and the black racial tradition offer to those interested in redeveloping and racially revising contemporary critical social theory. With chapters on critical race theory, postcolonial theory, feminism, and Marxism, this volume builds bridges from Africana Studies to disparate discursive communities, accessibly demonstrating Du Bois''s, and the black radical tradition''s, contributions to, and the potential impact on, a wide-range of new social scientific research and radical political struggles.

The Pathology of Desire in Daphne du Maurier’s Short Stories - Setara Pracha - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Pathology of Desire in Daphne du Maurier’s Short Stories - Setara Pracha - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Following a resurgence of interest in Daphne du Maurier’s writing, The Pathology of Desire in Daphne du Maurier’s Short Stories offers an overview of all her collections and a detailed reading of nine stories. These contain recurrent references to the incomplete or impaired human form and are best read through a corporeal lens. The criticism illustrates her importance as a cultural commentator fascinated by the results of frustrated human desire, and includes a synopsis of the published collections, and the stories within them, to give the reader a sense of the variety of the overarching themes and the persistent force of corporeality in the stories. Du Maurier is well-known as a novelist, but her short fiction is pivotal to understanding her position and influence as a writer. She rewrites fairytales and foregrounds female violence long before it became a cultural trend.

Du Bartas' Legacy in England and Scotland - Peter (lecturer In Early Modern Literature Auger - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Du Bartas' Legacy in England and Scotland - Peter (lecturer In Early Modern Literature Auger - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas was the most popular and widely-imitated poet in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England and Scotland. C. S. Lewis felt that a reconsideration of his works'' British reception was ''long overdue'' back in the 1950s, and this study finally provides the first comprehensive account of how English-speaking authors read, translated, imitated, and eventually discarded Du Bartas'' model for Protestant poetry.The first part shows that Du Bartas'' friendship with James VI and I was key to his later popularity. Du Bartas'' poetry symbolized a transnational Protestant literary culture in Huguenot France and Britain. Through James'' intervention, Scottish literary tastes had a significant impact in England. Later chapters assess how Sidney, Spenser, Milton, and many other poets justified writing poetic fictions in reaction to Du Bartas'' austere emphasis on scriptural truth. These chapters give equal attention to how Du Bartas'' example offered a route into original verse composition for male and female poets across the literate population.Du Bartas'' Legacy in England and Scotland responds to recent developments in transnational and translation studies, the history of reading, women''s writing, religious literature, and manuscript studies. It argues that Du Bartas'' legacy deserves far greater prominence than it has previously received because it offers a richer, more democratic, and more accurate view of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English, Scottish, and French literature and religious culture.

State and Family in China - Yue Du - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

State and Family in China - Yue Du - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Imperial China, the idea of filial piety not only shaped family relations but was also the official ideology by which Qing China was governed. In State and Family in China, Yue Du examines the relationship between politics and intergenerational family relations in China from the Qing period to 1949, focusing on changes in family law, parent-child relationships, and the changing nature of the Chinese state during this period. This book highlights how the Qing dynasty treated the state-sponsored parent-child hierarchy as the axis around which Chinese family and political power relations were constructed and maintained. It shows how following the fall of the Qing in 1911, reform of filial piety law in the Republic of China became the basis of state-directed family reform, playing a central role in China''s transition from empire to nation-state.
