Hardback. W. E. B. Du Bois never felt so at home as when he was a student in Berlin. Germany was the first place white people had treated him as an equal. But anti-Semitism was prevalent, and Du Bois' challenge, says Kwame Anthony Appiah, was to take the best of German intellectual life without its parochialism--to steal the fire without getting burned. Series: W. E. B. Du Bois Lectures. Num Pages: 240 pages. BIC Classification: 1KBB; BGH; HPS; JFSL3; JNA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 192 x 116 x 20. Weight in Grams: 274.
