Empire and Subject Peoples

Více o knize

The book explores the significant yet overlooked contributions of sociologist Herbert Adolphus Miller, who was a pioneering critic of eugenics and a staunch advocate for racial equality during the Jim Crow era. A close associate of W.E.B. Du Bois, Miller challenged assimilationist immigration policies and championed multiculturalism. His activism included support for global self-determination and involvement in various civil rights movements, while also critiquing imperialism. His political stance led to his dismissal from Ohio State University due to opposition from the Ku Klux Klan.
