Abstract

W. E. B. Du Bois: Pioneer American Sociologist highlights the contributions of W. E. B. Du Bois on the field of sociology. Robert A. Wortham shines a light on Du Bois’s role in shaping the scientific scope of the sociological perspective through his pioneering contributions in the areas of demography, urban and rural sociology, Southern Black Belt studies, and religion and society. This book provides a journey through the extensive sociological investigations of one of the key figures in the development of sociology in the United States and globally.
