- Summary:
- "In The Possible Form of an Interlocution, Nahum Chandler shows Max Weber in conversation with W. E. B Du Bois in 1904-1905, as Weber was working to try and understand the status of Polish workers in Eastern Germany and thought there might be commonalities with African Americans in the American south. Chandler documents the correspondence between Du Bois and Weber and offers a theoretical reconstruction of that exchange through archive-based annotations and analysis. Taking place just after Du Bois had published The Souls of Black Folk and during the time that Max Weber was composing The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, this interlocution between scholars centers around Du Bois's theory of "the problem of the color line," revealing the ways that Weber's own itinerary and thought was marked by Du Bois's formulation"-- Provided by publisher.
