Duboys's Black Reconstruction in America

In a series of editorials in the crisis, duboys began to argue that african americans should not focus on fighting segregation. This new stance put him in conflict with the organization he had helped to found, the na c p. He resigned from his editorship of the crisis and his position on the board of the organization. Back at atlanta university, he published what some see as his greatest work, and certainly his greatest work as a historian, black reconstruction in America. The book displays the growing influence of marxism on du boys,. most famously in his treatment of enslaved africans as a revolutionary proletariat who helped to end slavery through a general strike.
