“…A number of contributions over the last two decades have addressed why this did not happen. Most have focused on his omission from the ‘canon’ and so especially sought to reposition Du Bois as a ‘founding figure’ of sociology (Bell, Grosholz, & Stewart, 1996; Gates, 2007; Gates & Oliver, 1999; Kendhammer, 2007; Lemert, 1994; Morris, 2015; Young, Watts, Marable, Lemert, & Higginbotham, 2007; Zuckerman, 2004).…”

“…Elsewhere, Ellis’s (1992) study of Du Bois during the First World War, concentrating especially on the controversies over Du Bois’ insistence on the need to ‘close ranks’ in support of the US war effort, focuses on The Crisis magazine which Du Bois edited. Kendhammer (2007) too, engaging more explicitly with social theory, offers a historical treatment of the later period of Du Bois’ life and work, especially his pan-Africanism, and considers the extent to which this might represent a non-linear strand throughout his work.…”

“…Kendhammer (2007) is especially interesting in his discussion of the ‘periodization’ of Du Bois: e.g. early-liberal, middle-radical, later-pan-Africanist, and it would be worthwhile to explore a similar approach in Du Bois’ social theory – not to repeat the impulse of historians, but to double down on a section of writing in a manner pursued by scholars of other canonical thinkers (not unlike the discussion of Marx’s 1844 manuscripts or Weber’s Protestant ethic thesis).…”

The purpose of this article is to unpick and explore Du Boisian ideas of minority consciousness and double consciousness, to elaborate why they are of value, and to situate them in relation to the Hegelian phenomenology. The article shows that while an understanding of Hegel’s master–slave dialectic is helpful in grasping how Du Bois conceives of the power held by a dominant group to afford status, Du Bois was keenly aware that no less important was the ability to invoke complicity or use coercion in denying recognition. To this end the article refuses the view that Du Bois straightforwardly adopted a Hegelian approach in a manner that minimises how this aspect of Du Bois’ work also reflected remarkable intellectual originality. The article goes on to demonstrate how Du Bois’ concept presents sociology with something of normative category that captures the dual character of unrecognised minority subjectivities and their transformative potential, alongside the conditions of impaired status that are allocated to racial minorities.

“…Nationalism is the most important ideology of the 20th century. It is based on belief that peoples have shared language, culture, history that differentiates them from other nationalities (Kendhammer, 2007). Political ideology is a vital ingredient in developing party cohesion and, therefore, relevant in policy formulation.…”

This study examined political parties' ideologies influencing public policy formulation in Uganda's nascent hydrocarbon industry. The study followed the four research objectives, research questions and hypotheses. The researcher applied a descriptive cross-sectional survey research design to guide the study. The research adopted both quantitative and qualitative approaches and data was collected from 218 respondents. The researcher collected both quantitative and qualitative data which was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and thematic content analysis, respectively. The findings of the study have shown that political ideology contributes to public policy formulation in Uganda's nascent hydrocarbon industry by 20.7% and it is significant (P=0.000). It can be concluded that political parties' ideology is an important determinant to public policy formulation. It is recommended that government should ensure the question of ideology is handled from primary education level to university because it is a key factor in public policy formulation. The government should re-introduce civic education in primary schools and political education in secondary and tertiary institutions.

“… 1. The story of Du Bois’ contribution is complicated and includes, for example, intellectual and political excursions throughout his life and which saw Du Bois move through German historicism to embrace liberalism, communism and finally Pan-Africanism (indeed, Du Bois died in Ghana in 1963 and was given a state funeral by Kwame Nkrumah). See Lewis (2000, 1993) for a ‘periodisation’ account of Du Bois’ work, and Kendhammer (2007) for a critical but constructive response to reading Du Bois in this manner. …”

Race Ends Where? Race, Racism and Contemporary Sociology

In this introductory article we critically discuss where the study of race in sociology has travelled, with the benefit of previously published articles in Sociology supported by correspondence from article authors. We make the argument for sociologies of race that go beyond surface level reconstructions, and which challenge sociologists to reflect on how their discipline is presently configured. What the suite of papers in this collection shows is both the resilience of race as a construct for organising social relations and the slippery fashion in which ideas of race have shifted, transmuted and pluralised. It is in a spirit of recognising continuity and change that we present this collection. Some of the papers already stand as landmark essays, while others exemplify key moments in the broader teleology of race studies. This includes articles that explore the ontological ground upon which ideas of race, citizenship and black identity have been fostered and the need to develop a global sociology that is critically reflexive of its western orientation. The theme of continuity and change can be seen in papers that showcase intersectional approaches to race, where gender, nationality, generation and class offer nuanced readings of everyday life, alongside the persistence of institutional forms of discrimination. As this work demonstrates, middle-class forms of whiteness often go 'hiding in the light' yet can be made visible if we consider how parental school choice, or selecting where to live are also recognised as racially informed decisions. The range and complexity of these debates not only reflect the vitality of race in the contemporary period but lead us to ask not so much if race ends here, but where?
