Du Bois (1868-1963) was by any measure one of the most remarkable and influential intellectuals in American history. A celebrated sociologist, socialist, American historian, social philosopher, and pan-Africanist, and the first Black African to receive a PhD from Harvard University, he was a founding member of the NAACP, journal editor, and the most influential Black civil rights protest leader in the first half of the 20th century. He was also the author of several books, including the seminal \u003ci\u003eThe Souls of Black Folk\u003c\/i\u003e (1903), a landmark in the history of sociology and African American literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDu Bois on Religion\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light his insights on religion and how religious commitments shaped his views of race, rights, and justice. Sociologist Phil Zuckerman gathers Du Bois's writings on religion and makes a compelling case for Du Bois to be recognized among the leading sociologists of religion of the 20th century-whose influence on the field has only grown in recent decades. This expanded and updated edition includes selections from his well-known works such as \u003ci\u003eThe Souls of Black Folks\u003c\/i\u003e to poems, prayers, stories, and speeches less widely available, as well as numerous unpublished and previously uncited writings from the Du Bois Special Collections and University Archives a UMass Amherst. Zuckerman provides concise, illuminating introductions to each of the thirty selections, while his general introduction traces Du Bois's move from church-attending Christian to relentless critic of religion. Including a foreword by historian Chris Cameron, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eDu Bois on Religion\u003c\/i\u003e is a critical text for scholars and students, and for anyone seeking to better understand the history of race and religion in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePhil Zuckerman \u003c\/b\u003eis a Professor of Sociology and Secular Studies at Pitzer College.
