zachcarter's review against another edition

4.0

Another phenomenal collection here from Dr. Joy James. I learned a lot about Du Bois, his evolution from his construction of the Talented Tenth to his class-based refutation of it years later, but also about the current state of Black leadership and the revival of the Tenth in modern American politics. It's unsparing, well-researched, and urgent in its critique of elitism and intellectualism as they relate to the academy and social movements.
