description: This book weaves into the fabric of a world peace founded on democracy several seemingly separate problems. The first is that of the various colonies and their colored peoples; then come the problems of foreign investment for profit; the question of the expansion of democratic government for the masses of men; the role of Russia and her ideology in the post-war world, and the feasibility of world government through mandates and missions. Out of the solution of these problems Dr. DuBois believes will come the only trustworthy foundation on which permanent peace can be built. W.W. Burghardt DuBois is the recognized leader of the school of Negro thought which favors contending for complete equality of opportunity, as opposed to the conciliatory policy advanced by Booker T. Washington and Robert L. Moton. During the Versailles Peace Conference he called the first International Congress of Colored People. Color and Democracy, which quite logically scrutinizes post-war plans from the point of view of the colored races, presents a ringing challenge to the Dumbarton Oaks Conference.
