The Scholar Denied

W. E. B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology

By: Aldon Morris

In this groundbreaking book, Aldon D. Morris’s ambition is truly monumental: to help rewrite the history of sociology and to acknowledge the primacy of W. E. B. Du Bois’s work in the founding of the discipline. Calling into question the prevailing narrative of how sociology developed, Morris, a major scholar of social movements, probes the way in which the history of the discipline has traditionally given credit to Robert E. Park at the University of Chicago, who worked with the conservative black leader Booker T. Washington to render Du Bois invisible. Morris uncovers the seminal theoretical work of Du Bois in developing a “scientific” sociology through a variety of methodologies and examines how the leading scholars of the day disparaged and ignored Du Bois’s work. The Scholar Denied is based on extensive, rigorous primary source research; the book is the result of a decade of research, writing, and revision. In exposing the economic and political factors that marginalized the contributions of Du Bois and enabled Park and his colleagues to be recognized as the “fathers” of the discipline, Morris delivers a wholly new narrative of American intellectual and social history that places one of America’s key intellectuals, W. E. B. Du Bois, at its center. The Scholar Denied is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, racial inequality, and the academy. In challenging our understanding of the past, the book promises to engender debate and discussion.

Then Now and Forever

By: Aldon Morris

In the workable traits of Christian literature, the suggested material presented in Then, Now, and Forever is of a particular interest to the reader that rely on the word of God for godly living. These suggestions will help us to see how the truth can manifest itself in our lives and that we may understand the things that God expects from man, the crown of his creation. This book will offer insights in all the principles given by the truth. For even with the reciprocal nature of salvation, the attending points of life are inherently true when Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life." For in the continuing trend of this revelation, light and life are associated with Christ Jesus, which house the practical ways of his sublime nature that is contained in the holy scriptures, saying, "In him was life: and the life was the light of men." Therefore, the truth speaks with the final authority given from all that the things that are written in the scriptures to mimic every theme of godliness, as it challenges us to live accordingly to the comparably advances of godly wisdom. For wisdom is a defense, and mone is defense; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom gives life to them that have it, The truth is given as an introduction to all that have a fearful expectation of living by the word of God for understanding what it takes to have a personal discipleship with Christ Jesus.

The Inside Songs of Amiri Baraka

By: Aldon Lynn Nielsen

The Inside Songs of Amiri Baraka examines the full length of Baraka’s discography as a poet recording with musicians as well as his contributions to jazz and R & B, beginning with his earliest studio recordings in 1965 and continuing to the last year of his life, 2014. This recorded history traces his evolution from the era of Beat poetry and “projective verse,” through the period of the Black Arts Movement and cultural nationalism, and on to his commitments to “third world Marxism,” which characterized the last decades of his life. The music enfolding Baraka’s recitations ranges from traditional African drumming, to doo wop, rhythm and blues, soul and the avant garde jazz that was his great love and the subject of so much of his writing, and includes both in-studio sessions and live concert performances. This body of work offers a rare opportunity to think about not only jazz/poetry, but the poet in the recording studio and the relations of text to score.

Rethinking Social Movements

Structure, Meaning, and Emotion

By: Jeff Goodwin,James M. Jasper

This landmark volume brings together some of the titans of social movement theory in a grand reassessment of its status. For some time, the field has been divided between a dominant structural approach and a cultural or constructivist tradition. The gaps and misunderstandings between the two sides—as well as the efforts to bridge them—closely parallel those in the discipline of sociology at large. This book aims to further the dialogue between these two distinct approaches to social movements and to show the broader implications for sociology as a whole as it struggles with issues including culture, emotion, and agency.
