Education and Empowerment

The book highlights W.E.B. Du Bois' significant yet overlooked contributions to educational thought. It features twenty-four writings organized into three sections: early works showcasing his advocacy for literacy and political awareness, writings from his Harvard doctoral journey, and pieces reflecting his passionate, combative stance on education. This collection reveals Du Bois as a foundational figure in educational discourse, challenging the narrative that he was merely a peripheral thinker in this field.
