I’ve attached the Quiz below please answer each question thoroughly. I’ve attached some reading materials and the quiz prompt. You have to site sources Also general, good answers are about two paragraphs long. Citation of the readings (give the source and page in the Sociological inline citation (Author Date-of-publication: page), i.e. (DuBois 1987: 154). If it is an assigned reading, you do not have to enter the source in a bibliographic Reference list. Only give the references which would otherwise be unknown to your professor in a list of References at the end.
1. List some of the examples of paradoxes of “modern western civilization” that DuBois gives in
Chapter Two. What is the chief cause of the paradox of race and labor?
2. In the interest of understanding unity and unification, consider how did Britain gain control
over India, according to DuBois? Is there much difference between then policies used there and
the unfriendly stance of the Biden administration taken today to Ethiopia and Eritrea reaching
settlement? Kwame Ture liked to state that the “capitalists didn’t lie some of the time. They lie
all of the time.” Should we assume that the reasons being given by the U.S. are the most valid
interpretation for African people, or is a situation like the Ghana Fanti constitution still playing
out?
3. What was the example of the Fanti? Can any self-respecting African – whether of American
nationality, other countries abroad, or Africa nationality itself – accept capitalist designation of
who is a rebel criminal dictator, etc., and who is our good leader?
4. What historical situation did DuBois refer to of the imperialists idea of bringing unity and
coordination among themselves? Do you see something similar in the C-Span seminar with
regard to Africa today? What were the concluding recommendations of each of the
participants?
5. What does DuBois say about indigenous cultural and colonialism, when he gives the example
of the Ashanti? What is his opening summary statement(s)?
6. The concept of neocolonialism suggests that what follows colonialism is not necessarily
freedom, without attainment of certain conditions.
7.What is the sin of the paradox of the culture of the gentleman and lady, that emerged among
Whites? Is it still a sin today, especially among Black (African) people?
8. Make a timeline displaying the major dates and occurrences in the development of Kemet
(Ch. 5, “Egypt” and Ch. 6, “The Land of the Burnt Faces”), particularly, the main “golden eras.”
Notecix that they all begin with unification
