“…Discursively mirroring his discussion of the distinct history and heritage, racialization and criminalization, family life and conjugal conditions, education and illiteracy, and work and wages of the “country Negro” in the Farmville publication, The Philadelphia Negro added in-depth investigations of the disease and death rate, alcoholism and pauperism, electoral politics and religious practices of the “city Negro” as well. Much more methodical and meticulous than the rural study, over the century since its publication The Philadelphia Negro has garnered a unique place for itself in the annals of American social science (Anderson, 1996; Boston, 2017; Burbridge, 1999; Hunter, 2013; Rudwick, 1960; 28–38; Saari, 2009; Wortham, 2008, 2009b).…”

As a brief exercise in the critical sociology of sociology, this article demonstrates W.E.B. Du Bois’s undeniable contributions to the history, discourse, and development of American sociology in particular, and the wider world of sociology in general. This dialectical approach to Du Bois’s sociological discourse will enable objective interpreters of his work to see that when compared and contrasted with the monumental work of Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim, what was and what remains really and truly distinctive about Du Bois’s sociology is precisely his unpretentious preoccupation with uniquely and unequivocally American social, political, and cultural issues, such as, for example: race and anti-Black racism in the context of slavery, lynching, Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and other forms of racial oppression in the United States; racial capitalism and the racial colonization of social classes in the United States; and the racial colonization of gender and sexuality in the United States.

“…Between 1500 and 1900, many African men and women were forcibly transported from West Africa and some parts of Central Africa across the Atlantic Ocean into Europe and America in ships to work on White owned plantations under very harsh conditions (Rudwick, 2021). They were shipped to Europe tied together and compacted in cabins with no access to sanitary conditions.…”

The Transatlantic Slave trade began during the 15th century when Portugal and subsequently other European kingdoms were able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the West Coast of Africa and took those that they enslaved to Europe. This saw a lot of African men and women transported to Europe and America to work on the huge plantations that the Whites owned. The transportation of these Africans exposed them to inhumane treatments which they faced even upon the arrival at their various destinations. The emancipation Proclamation signed on 1st January 1863 by the United States President Abraham Lincoln saw a legal stop to slave trade. However, the African Americans that had been taken to the United States and settled especially in the Southern region faced discrimination, segregation, violence and were denied civil rights through segregation laws such as the Jim Crow laws and lynching, based on the color of their skin. This forced them especially those that had acquired an education to rise up and speak against this treatment. They formed Civil Rights Movements to advocate for Black rights and equal treatment. These protracted movements, despite continued violence on Blacks, Culminated in Barack Obama being elected the first African American President of the United States of America. To cement the victory, he won a second term, which Donald Trump failed to obtain. This paper sought to critic the philosophies of Booker T. Washington in his civil rights movement, particularly his ideologies of integration, self-help, racial solidarity and accommodation as expressed in his speech, “the Atlanta Compromise,” and the impact this had on the political and civil rights arena for African Americans.

“…Além disso, com The Philadelphia Negro o discurso de Du Bois sobre os "problemas sociais" pode ser dito que mudou das reflexões metateóricas e metametodológicas de "The Study of the Negro Problems" para a aplicação concreta em relação às questões sociais enfrentadas pela comunidade afro-americana da Filadélfia (Katz;Sugrue, 1998). Além disso, todos e cada um dos estudos da Conferência da Universidade de Atlanta representam estudos de caso de problemas sociais particulares (DU BOIS;1904a, 1940, 1942, 1969GABBIDON;MORRIS;RABAKA;RUDWICK;1957;WRIGHT;.…”

“…As publicações da Conferência da Universidade de Atlanta, editada por Du Bois, geralmente continham pesquisas baseadas em surveys locais e focadas em condições locais. Na realidade, em seu clássico de 1900, "The Twelfth Census and the Negro Problems", Du Bois inflexivelmente discutiu que estudos sociais micrológicos, ou locais, frequentemente provavam fornecer detalhes intricados e indispensáveis sobre um problema social específico ou condição social que os dados dos censos e outros estudos macrológicos não forneciam (DU BOIS, 1900b;RUDWICK, 1957;S. WILSON, 2015;WORTHAM, 2009b).…”

Resumo: Como um breve exercício dentro da sociologia crítica da sociologia, esse artigo demonstra as inegáveis contribuições de W.E.B. Du Bois para a história, discurso e desenvolvimento da sociologia americana, em particular, e para o campo mais amplo da sociologia, em geral. Essa abordagem dialética para com o discurso sociológico de Du Bois possibilitará interpretes de seus trabalhos a verem que quando comparados e contrastados com as obras monumentais de Karl Marx, Max Weber e Emile Durkheim, o que ficou e o que permanece verdadeiramente característico e distinto sobre a sociologia de Du Bois é precisamente sua despretensiosa preocupação, unicamente e inequivocamente, com as questões sociais, políticas e culturais americanas, como por exemplo: raça e o racismo anti-negro no contexto da escravidão, linchamentos, Black Codes, as leis do Jim Crow, segregação, e outras formas de opressão racial nos Estados Unidos; capitalismo racial e a colonização racial de classes sociais nos EUA; a colonização racial de gênero e sexualidade nos EUA; a colonização racial da religião nos EUA; a colonização racial da educação nos EUA; e finalmente, a criminalização racial da população negra, dentre outras populações racialmente colonizadas e muito pobres nos EUA.
