The Journal Philosophia Africana seeks papers on Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches, its context and legacy, as well as aspects of his thinking in Souls that he developed further in subsequent writings.
Suggested topics include:
- The Souls of Black Folk at 100
- Souls as ‘canonical’ text/Du Bois’ legacy
- Souls’ publication and intellectual history
- Souls’ Historical Context
- Souls’ publication history
- Du Bois & political/sociological/cultural theory
- Du Bois & The American Negro Academy
- Du Bois & Black creative intellectual thought
- Du Bois & questions of race and nation
- Du Bois’ early thought
- Du Bois, cosmopolitanism, and the global paradigm
- Du Bois’ aesthetics and aesthetic thought

We invite papers on topics that diverge from this list and from taking Souls as the primary text for analysis. The special issue will include papers from a wide range of topics and from a variety of methodological and intellectual positions.
