Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
The 1969 introduction by Norman Klein gives an interesting overview of the strengths, weaknesses, and unique contributions, particularly by raising awareness of then-to-fore undiscussed issues, in DuBois’ original thesis.
DuBois’ own Apologia to his work, written in 1954 (some 60 years after initial publication of his thesis?), is a fascinating read, given his insights into his own early work as a young man, and thoughts on that work, viewed from the distance of those years. Very nice read.
The work itself, because the research is now both dated and superseded by other work, I did not read in detail, but skimmed for correlation if needed later, with the Slavery sub-project on Wikitree, of which I am no longer part.
