  Historian, journalist, educator, and civil rights advocate W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps most accomplished as a sociologist of race relations and of the black community in the United States. This volume collects his most important sociological writings from 1898 to 1910. The eighteen selections include five on Du Bois’s conception of sociology and sociological research, especially as a tool in the struggle for racial justice; excerpts from studies of black communities in the South and the North, including The Philadelphia Negro; writings on black culture and social life, with a selection from The Negro American Family; and later works on race relations in the United States and elsewhere after World War II. This section includes a powerful fiftieth-anniversary reassessment of his classic 1901 article in the Atlantic in which he predicted that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.“ 
   
  The editors provide an annotated bibliography, a lengthy overview of Du Bois’s life and work, and detailed introductions to the selections.

  Phenomenology - The Study of...

  Phenomenology is a branch of philosophy that delves into the structures of experience and consciousness, aiming to understand how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them. At its core, phenomenology seeks to examine the nature of subjective experience and the ways in which our consciousness engages with phenomena, offering insights into the nature of reality from a first-person perspective. This philosophical approach was pioneered by Edmund Husserl in the early 20th century, and it has since evolved to influence numerous disciplines, from psychology to cognitive science and beyond. 
  The essence of phenomenology lies in its commitment to the lived experience. Unlike traditional philosophy, which often abstracts reality through logic and reason, phenomenology emphasizes the importance of understanding the world as it is experienced by individuals. This involves focusing on the way things appear to consciousness before any interpretation or theoretical assumptions are made. In this sense, phenomenology is concerned with describing and analyzing the direct, lived experience of human beings, often referred to as the “phenomenon” in phenomenological terms.

  Private Government - How...

  Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments—and why we can't see it 
   
   
   
  One in four American workers says their workplace is a "dictatorship." Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if we recognized employers for what they are—private governments with sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. Many employers minutely regulate workers' speech, clothing, and manners on the job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech, recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy real freedom.
