Published by Harvard University Press in 2020, this thought-provoking hardback spans 208 pages and challenges the perception of scholars as mere ivory-tower intellectuals. Harpham highlights the contributions of influential figures like W. E. B.

This compelling work invites readers to reflect on the responsibilities of scholarship and its impact on social progress.
