W. E. B. Du Bois repeatedly calls for African Americans to work toward attaining "self-conscious manhood" and complains that Booker T. Washington's policies are "emasculating" and in opposition to "true manhood." What is the role of masculinity and manhood in Du Bois' theories about racial struggle? How does his equation of racial strength and self-consciousness with masculinity compare to the depictions of minority women's struggles for strength and self-consciousness in works by writers such as Anna Julia Cooper and Ida B. Wells?
