Keeping The Heat On In The U.S. Kitchen

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2009

Verified Purchase

Mr. Lewis' second and final volume about Mr. Du Bois' life is a thorough undertaking which began with his outstanding first book, "Biography of a Race." The author takes the reader through Du Bois' struggles with the demagogue Marcus Garvey, the NAACP, the Depression, WWI and WWII, Southern lynchings, J. Edgar Hoover, Jim Crow and the Red Scare, to name just a few. Mr. Lewis gives ample time to place Du Bois in the social mind-sets of the respective eras in which the icon lived. You get to know this brilliant man, warts and all. Some aspects of his personality are to be greatly admired and other parts of him, such as his eventual near-blind devotion to communism and multiple philanderings, made me cringe. Though I agree that the book feels rushed in presenting the last years of his life, after reading these two large volumes, I had my fill of the subject matter. Du Bois was a complicated man who forced the world to face the illogical attitude about racism and the need to expand civil rights. A must read for anyone that wants to understand race in the United States.

Does Not Disappoint

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

David Levering Lewis never disappoints his readers. As with the first half of the Dubois autobiography, this book is well-researched and well-written. I read many biographies and some authors get too bogged down in explaining the subject's motivations, etc. -- to the point that it becomes just plain boring and hard to read. The opposite is true of Lewis. This guy weaves a story that you can not put down, while giving readers a strong understanding of Dubois and the social milieus that he lived in at various points in time. Lewis also provides detailed documentation of sources. He is a fine historian and biographer.

Thanks Much, Mr. Lewis

I was interested in Du Bois so I read a bunch of his writing. Then I glommed onto this two-volume biography. This is volume 1. Well-researched, exhaustive, and above all honest in its assessment of the man and his ideas. The scholarship is amazing. I can not imagine how much effort went into this remarkable book(s). I have to admit that it took me a while to read but well worth my effort. Thanks much, Mr. Lewis.

Great read

Detailed and thought provoking

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2009

I am impressed with the level of detail that the author went to, in order to paint a complete picture of Du Bois. Du Bois himself lived in a remarkable time in American history (being born a few years after slavery ended and dying months before Dr. Martin Luther King's march on Washington) Lewis captures the evolution of the time and the character of the day with his detailed portrayl of Du Bois' life, and the major events that captured the nations attention during that time.
