The Du Bois Review, launched in the spring of 2004, is a scholarly, multidisciplinary, and multicultural journal devoted to social science research and criticism about race. The journal provides a forum for discussion and increased understanding of race and society from a range of disciplines, including but not limited to economics, political science, sociology, anthropology, law, communications, public policy, psychology, linguistics, and history. The editors of this peer-reviewed journal are Professor Lawrence D. Bobo (Stanford University) and Professor Michael C. Dawson (University of Chicago), with Professor Tommie Shelby (Harvard University) serving as Senior Associate Editor.
Published by Cambridge University Press, each issue of the Du Bois Review contains between 200 and 225 pages and has 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.
Now entering its fifth year, the Du Bois Review has already made a name for itself among sociologists, political scientists, historians, and other scholars whose work focuses upon race. The first DBR special issue, Katrina: Unmasking Race, Poverty, and Politics in the 21st Century (Volume 3, no. 1), was widely acclaimed. DBR Volume 3, no. 2, includes articles on reparations, interracial marriage, multiracial studies, the importance of the work of W. E. B. Du Bois for the development of twentieth-century social science, and a lively discourse section on the unique situation of Black women, in both society and the academy.
Volume 4 of the Du Bois Review, Engaging Immigration: Social, Economic, and Policy Perspectives, is devoted entirely to immigration. To subscribe to the Du Bois Review, please go to: http://www.cambridge.org/journals/journal_catalogue.asp?mnemonic=dbr
