"W. E. B. Du Bois and the Question of Palestine”
with Michael B. Burawoy

One of the remarkable features of the life and work of W. E. B. Du Bois was its global reach, but he approached international relations as a critic of US imperialism. This left him with several blind spots not least in relation to the question of Palestine. What can we learn from his limitations? How can we use Du Bois' pioneering scholarship on the US to give a fuller picture of globalization, the history of Israel/Palestine, and today's war in the Middle East? 

• Michael Burawoy is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley where he is a sociologist who has conducted studies of class and race in Africa, Soviet and post-Soviet countries as well as in the United States.
