  • Descrição: Aldon Morris' recent book The Scholar Denied (Morris 2015) masterfully demonstrates the importance of W. E. B. Du Bois in early American Sociology, despite its contested status during all his life. It is interesting to not that unlike many American social scientists, W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) was partly trained in Berlin from 1892 to 1894, in an environment where racism and segregation did not exist as such if compared to the USA at the end of nineteenth century: there were no segregated hotels, restaurants, or rest rooms in imperial Germany. This, of course, was decades before the state regulated Nazi rules that took place in Germany from 1933 to 1945. My point is to argue that two main figures were absent from the founding of American sociology and in its later recognition: W. E. B. Du Bois and Karl Marx. Not only were Du Bois and Marx neglected in the U.S. sociological tradition, but both theoreticians were nowhere to be found in many sociology books published before the 1970s in the USA. Given the limited space allowed, I present only three examples.
