^A-marvel of scholarship and discernment. David Levering
Lewis's remarkable, stunningly detailed book reshapes our
understanding of Du Bois at so many points as to instantly

mental contribution to Afro-American—and American—
historiography."
i —Martin Duberman, author of Paul Robeson: A Biography
"We have known Du Bois the genius, but in this master-
work, David Lewis skillfully evokes 'Will5 the man—inspir-

was his feminist passion and patriarchal practice."
—Paula Giddings, author of When & Where I Enter
"David Levering Lewis's grand, highly literate, engrossing, and deeply researched biography

"David Levering Lewis's grand, highly literate, engrossing, and deeply researched biography
is expansive enough to encompass the multitudinousness of Du Bois's life and to insist upon
his significance as an intellectual. It is an outstanding example of the biographer's art. There
is no fuller or more illuminating account of his personal formation and of the development
of his work. One recognizes in this lucid and sensitive biography the centrality of Du Bois for
American, African, and Afro-American history."
—Thomas Bender, author of New York Intellect
PRAISE FOR THE RACE TO FASHODA
"For the first time, a major history of the European colonial movement in Africa tells the
story of the African resistance while also giving a parallel account of the European side. At
the hands of an extraordinarily versatile American historian, happily blessed with a lively
prose style, both receive their due." —Foreign Affairs
PRAISE FOR WHEN HARLEM WAS IN VOGUE
. (
"A major study that thoroughly interweaves the philosophies and fads, the people and the -
movements that combined to form the Harlem Renaissance."
—The New York Times Book Review
"A brilliant work. . . . No brief summary can adequately reveal the effectiveness of Lewis's
blend of scholarship and anecdote. It should be indispensable for the student of America in
the 1920s and exciting for any reader." —Washington Post Book World
PRAISE FOR KING: A BIOGRAPHY
"An excellent book that will do more to keep Martin Luther King and his 'dream' alive in a
different era than would more fulsome tributes."
—Louis R. Harlan, American Historical Review Vissza
