For African Americans, for their country, and for the world, W. E. B. Du Bois announced, the twentieth century would begin in Asia. It was late December , the end of a year of great ambition and personal tragedy for the young Atlanta University professor. His two-year-old son, Burghardt, had died in May, in a city where white physicians would not treat Black patients, and Black physicians were in short supply. A month earlier, his near encounter with a gruesome trophy of the freshly lynched body of Sam Hose had struck his faith in the enlightening power of social science to its core. And his nation was at war. Unlike the relatively popular Spanish-American War that preceded it, the PhilippineAmerican War was vigorously debated by the Black press and intelligentsia, and even threatened to fracture historic loyalties to the party of Lincoln in the upcoming presidential election. As the year drew to a close, Du Bois traveled to Washington, DC, to deliver his presidential address at the annual meeting of the American Negro Academy. Largely neglected until recent years, this speech was the source of his famous proclamation that “the world problem of the th century is the Problem of the Color line” (). Shorn of the contextually redundant word “world,” Du Bois would repeat this formulation on several occasions over the next few years –most famously in his  breakthrough, The Souls of Black Folk – but only the  address presents it as a thesis to be demonstrated. He does so by considering race “in its larger world aspect in time and space” (), via a whirlwind survey of geopolitical conflicts on five continents, and a century-by-century review of  years of world history. In this argument, the color line is not merely a metaphor for segregation, a bar to be crossed or lifted, but a means of understanding racialization as a dynamic, modern, and modernizing force: a traveling analytical concept for examining the uneven, unpredictable ways race is made and remade across a global field of imperial competition, which would become a space of transimperial contestation for movements from below.

w·e·b·杜波依斯宣布，对非裔美国人、对他们的国家、对全世界来说，20世纪将从亚洲开始。那是12月下旬，这位年轻的亚特兰大大学教授的雄心壮志和个人悲剧的一年结束了。他两岁的儿子伯格哈特(Burghardt)于今年5月去世，当时白人医生不愿治疗黑人病人，而黑人医生又供不应求。一个月前，他与萨姆·霍斯(Sam Hose)刚刚被私刑处死的可怕尸体战利品的邂逅，彻底打击了他对社会科学的启蒙力量的信念。他的国家处于战争状态。与之前相对受欢迎的美西战争不同，菲美战争在黑人新闻界和知识界进行了激烈的辩论，甚至有可能在即将到来的总统选举中破坏对林肯政党的忠诚。这一年即将结束，杜波依斯前往华盛顿特区，在美国黑人学院年会上发表总统演说。直到最近几年，这篇演讲才被人们所忽视，他著名的宣言“世纪的世界问题是肤色问题”()就是源于这篇演讲。在接下来的几年里，杜波依斯删去了上下文中多余的“世界”这个词，他会在几个场合重复这个提法——最著名的是在他的突破中，黑人的灵魂——但是只有演讲把它作为一个论题来展示。他通过对五大洲地缘政治冲突的快速调查，以及对年世界历史的一个世纪一个世纪的回顾，“在时间和空间的更大的世界层面上”考虑种族问题()。在这一论点中，肤色界限不仅仅是种族隔离的隐喻，是一个需要跨越或解除的障碍，而是一种理解种族化的手段，它是一种动态的、现代的、现代化的力量:一种流动的分析概念，用于研究种族在全球帝国竞争领域中形成和重塑的不平衡、不可预测的方式，这将成为一个跨越帝国争夺的空间。
