E. B. Du Bois was remarkable in its entirety, a large majority of scholarship focuses on the first five or six decades. Overlooked and understudied, the closing three decades of Du Bois's career reflect a generative period of his life in terms of teaching, travel, activism, and publications. \u003ci\u003eForging Freedom in W. E. B. Du Bois's Twilight Years: No Deed but Memory \u003c\/i\u003eproposes to narrate the political, social, and cultural significance of Du Bois's career during the controversial closing three decades of his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Du Bois's twilight years were tremendously controversial: his persistent criticism of the collusion between capitalism and racism and his choice to join the Communist Party in late 1961 raised the ire of many. At the time, Du Bois's strident advocacy of socialism and turn to communism during the Cold War oriented most scholars away from delving into his late career. While only a few scholars have engaged the productivity of Du Bois's later years, the fact is that an anticommunist, antiradical animus has followed Du Bois in the half century since his death. As a result, Du Bois scholarship remains impoverished to the extent that academics neglect his later years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essays in \u003ci\u003eForging Freedom in W. E. B. Du Bois's Twilight Years \u003c\/i\u003edetail selected aspects of Du Bois's later decades and their particular connection to American social, political, and cultural history between the 1930s and the 1960s. While international concerns and a global perspective also fundamentally defined Du Bois's latter years, chronicling his final decades in a US context presents fresh insight into his twilight years. Du Bois's commitment to freedom's flourishing during this period animated the Black freedom struggle's war against white supremacy. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the durability of Du Bois's intellectual achievements remains relevant to the twenty-first century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhillip Luke Sinitiere\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of history at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, Texas.
