Aprašymas

2021 Reprint of the 1952 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. W.E.B. Du Bois was a public intellectual, sociologist, and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP, as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. In Battle for Peace is a personal narrative dealing with the stormy events during the past year in the life of the distinguished scholar. The highlight of the story is the trial and acquittal of Dr. Du Bois and his colleagues of the former Peace Information Center on charges of failing to register as "foreign agents.". IN BATTLE FOR PEACE also describes the background of Dr. Du Bois' work for peace and its relation to his life-long crusade for Negro freedom and colonial liberation. Here is a dramatic sequel to his classic writings--The Souls of Black Folk, Black Reconstruction, Dusk of Dawn, The World and Africa, etc.

The book includes comment by Shirley Graham (Mrs. Du Bois), who took a leading part in the successful fight to vindicate her husband and his associates.
