Book Review

Creative Conflict in African American Thought: Frederick Douglass, Alexander Crummell, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey. By Wilson Jeremiah Moses. (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2004. xviii, 308 pp. Cloth, $65.00, ISBN 0-521-82826-0. Paper, $24.00, ISBN 0-521-53537-9.)

This book will be a welcome addition to courses on American intellectual history and social thought. Comprising thirteen essays about five leading African American activists and intellectuals of the Progressive Era—Frederick Douglass, Alexander Crummell, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey—it has sufficient range to be of interest to undergraduates and graduate students alike. Once again Wilson Jeremiah Moses proves himself a scholar of immense erudition. In this book, he commands the history and historiography not only of African American studies and the African diaspora but also of Western social thought. He is a committed contextualist and a fierce foe of presentism, which makes this work a provoking springboard for discussions of methodology.
