DuBois's Revenge: Reinterrogating American Democratic Theory…Or Why We Need a Revolutionary Black Research Agenda in the 21st Century

摘要

This essay examines the challenges the U.S. constitutes for Black academics who want to pursue a scholarship which serves the country's Black population. It reviews the pillars of the U.S. state and society and how they have restricted possibilities for Black people. It sketches out and rebuts the society's dominant historical myths. It suggests the intellectual narrative which Black research must discover and pursue in order to deconstruct the dominant myths and their institutional restrictions on people of African descent.
