Abstract
I regretfully write that I learned so much about W.E.B. Du Bois in The Sociology of W.E.B. Du Bois: Racialized Modernity and the Global Color Line that I am thoroughly embarrassed. My professors did not assign Du Bois’s work in my theory course in graduate school. What I learned from this great thinker, I read on my own. I could recite Du Bois’s notion of double consciousness, and my fellow Black graduate students and I fronted like we represented the Talented Tenth. After reading Itzigsohn and Brown’s work, I realize I know very little about Du Bois. Through a critical and detailed analysis of Du Bois’s vast body of work, Itzigsohn and Brown set out to articulate a Du Boisian sociology. Unfortunately, mainstream sociology does not fully recognize Du Bois’s contributions. These scholars comprehensively and thoroughly address this gap.
