About this product
Product Information
The embrace of competitive market principles, increasingly prevalent in our neoliberal age, often obscures the enduring divisiveness of a society set up to produce winners and losers. In this inspired and thoughtfully argued book, Andrew Douglas turns to the later writings of W.E.B. Du Bois to reevaluate the very terms of the competitive society.

Reviews
Andrew Douglas's book is an excellent contribution to a growing body of scholarship engaged with the complexity and evolution of Du Bois's political thought. His treatment of Du Bois's debates with Abram Harris and other black Marxists, his analysis of Du Bois's philosophy of education, and his account of Du Bois's relevance to contemporary discussions of neoliberalism are all first-rate., Brilliant. Absorbing. Essential reading. These words capture Andrew Douglas's marvelous book on W.E.B. Du Bois's political thought, a book focused on the Du Bois of the 1930s, a Du Bois committed to shattering the long-held American Assumption that competition should be a human goal. What Douglas reveals is Du Bois's nuanced endorsement of cooperation, not competition, as a guiding principle of black politics. Cooperation, Du Bois argues, enables transformation of the very fabric of the American republic and the modern world writ large. Readers shall learn about genres of black radicals, the centrality of black colleges as a site of Du Boisian critique, and the afterlives of Du Bois's call for cooperation at home and abroad. The lessons of Du Bois's Depression Era vision of the demos, Douglas demonstrates, are necessary now more than ever., Turning to a neglected strand of Du Bois's thought-his growing opposition to the 'competitive form'-and drawing on overlapping analyses of other thinkers, including Karl Marx, Abram Harris, and Martin Luther King Jr., Douglas presents a provocative appraisal of our contemporary moment. He argues forcefully that today's neoliberal regime is one in which the norm of competitiveness, a long-standing and integral feature of American capitalist society, has intensified to the point that we are expected to 'do battle with one another' in nearly every part of our lives.
