Contents

Structure and contents

Each issue of the Du Bois Review contains four major sections:

  • The first is a "Statement from the Editors" that provides a commentary on the state and the study of race as well as an overview of the issue.
  • The second section, "State of the Discipline", presents lead essays that synthetically critique broad areas of research regarding race.
  • The third section, "State of the Art", offers three to five major research articles. These articles are peer reviewed and rival the quality of those published in the best journals in the social sciences.
  • The fourth section, "State of the Discourse", comprises major review essays, each of which comments on two to four seminal books, controversies, and/or strands of research in the study of race. The essays exploring controversies present the various sides of critical debate within society as well as the scholarly study of race.

    • Editors

    The editors-in-chief are Lawrence D. Bobo (Harvard University) and Michael C. Dawson (University of Chicago).
