The prism of race: W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, and the colored world of Cedric Dover

Abstract

A scholar of race and a leader in the Afro-Asian solidarity movement, Cedric Dover embodied the 20th-century cosmopolitan redefinition of racial identity. Tracing Dover’s evolution through his relationships with W.E.B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, and Paul Robeson, this book tracks racial identity in the twentieth century.
