But Du Bois was also American to his core, scarred but not crippled by the racial humiliations of his homeland. In Lines of Descent, Kwame Anthony Appiah traces the twin lineages of Du Bois' American experience and German apprenticeship, showing how they shaped the great African-American scholar's ideas of race and social identity. At Harvard, Du Bois studied with such luminaries as William James and George Santayana, scholars whose contributions were largely intellectual. But arriving in Berlin in 1892, Du Bois came under the tutelage of academics who were also public men. The economist Adolf Wagner had been an advisor to Otto von Bismarck. Heinrich von Treitschke, the historian, served in the Reichstag, and the economist Gustav von Schmoller was a member of the Prussian state council. These scholars united the rigorous study of history with political activism and represented a model of real-world engagement that would strongly influence Du Bois in the years to come. With its romantic notions of human brotherhood and self-realization, German culture held a potent allure for Du Bois. Germany, he said, was the first place white people had treated him as an equal. But the prevalence of anti-Semitism allowed Du Bois no illusions that the Kaiserreich was free of racism. His challenge, says Appiah, was to take the best of German intellectual life without its parochialism--to steal the fire without getting burned. 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEducation 606 $aAfrican American intellectuals 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xEducation. 615 0$aAfrican American intellectuals. 676 $a973.04960730092 700 $aAppiah$b Anthony$0476346 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910463954803321 996 $aLines of descent$92481816 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03182nam 2200697 a 450 001 9910791416303321 005 20230124184327.0 010 $a1-60344-360-6 035 $a(CKB)2560000000051072 035 $a(OCoLC)680622488 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10411771 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000458222 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11924213 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000458222 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10420622 035 $a(PQKB)10367718 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3037759 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse1206 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3037759 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10411771 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL436609 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000051072 100 $a20081125d2009 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aRed cosmos$b[electronic resource] $eK.E.
