In the Shadow of Du Bois: Afro-Modern Political Thought in America - Robert Gooding-Williams
“Nahum Dimitri Chandler’s Annotations is a major contribution to the study of Du Bois’s early philosophical thought and an invaluable meditation on the 1897 essay, ‘The Conservation of Races.’ Few if any Du Bois scholars have approached Du Bois’s writing with the patience and nuance that Chandler insistently shows it demands. His detailed discussions of DuBois’s words, sentences, and paragraphs are invariably challenging and always insightful.”
On Race and Philosophy - Lucius T. Outlaw Jr.
“In Annotations, Nahum Dimitri Chandler turns his extraordinarily well-honed orientation to and capabilities for close readings of texts to W. E. B. Du Bois’s essay ‘The Conservation of Races.’ Scholars will welcome Chandler’s attentive, deliberate, and immersive reading of this signal text, through which he offers a nuanced and intricately fashioned interpretation. In short, for me Chandler is the foremost scholar on the writings of Du Bois.”
