" Reading 'Black Reconstruction' Today is a rich and rigorous exploration of W. E. B. Du Bois's great work. This volume will be an indispensable resource for teachers, students, and scholars, for anyone who is reading Du Bois and thinking with him about the legacy of the Reconstruction era and the world-building possibilities of abolitionism."--Kevin Bruyneel, author of Settler Memory: The Disavowal of Indigeneity and the Politics of Race in the United States "W. E. B.
Du Bois's masterful drama of insurgent Black politics and counterrevolutionary violence is as relevant today as it was in 1935. Reading 'Black Reconstruction' Today is an important engagement with Du Bois's work. It is well written, with concise and trenchant arguments that will be meaningful for a broad public interested in thinking with Black Reconstruction , as well as those trying to understand the present conjuncture."--Alex Lubin, Professor of African American Studies and History, Penn State University "Visionary scholars Yousuf Al-Bulushi, Geo Maher, and Damien Sojoyner have curated a collection of essays that powerfully marshal W. E. B. Du Bois's towering historical analysis while offering sophisticated, original contributions. Reading 'Black Reconstruction' Today is a brilliant volume that extends key insights from Du Bois's classic text to engage with contemporary struggles against racial enclosure and urgent endeavors to create another world.
