"Beyond This Narrow Now"

The book delves into the foundational ideas of W. E. B. Du Bois, emphasizing their relevance to contemporary thought. Chandler offers a fresh perspective on Du Bois's early essays and provides detailed annotations of "The Souls of Black Folk," highlighting key epistemological concepts. He argues that Du Bois's notion of "the problem of the color line" holds deeper significance, linking it to modern issues of enslavement, imperialism, and capitalism. This work calls for a renewed appreciation of Du Bois as a philosophical thinker whose insights resonate today.
