Marable's excellent study focuses on the social thought of a major black American thinker who exhibited a "basic coherence and unity" throughout a multifaceted career stressing cultural pluralism, opposition to social inequality, and black pride. Marable characterizes DuBoisa critic of Booker T. Washington and a founder of the NAACPas a social scientist drawn "reluctantly" to politics, which was "inseparable in his mind from moral imperatives." A radical democrat who believed democracy inevitably led to socialism, DuBois linked racism to capitalism. Consequently, Marable views DuBois's controversial decision to join the Communist Party as consistent with his political development. A valuable and useful study recommended for academic and public libraries. John R. Sillito, Weber State Coll. Lib., Ogden, Utah
