Lines of Descent: W. E. B. Du Bois and the Emergence of Identity - The W. E. B. Du Bois Lectures
Kwame Anthony Appiah
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.
