Abstract
abstract: W. E. B. Du Bois's 1926 travels in Germany have remained an almost blank page in our knowledge of his life until now. On the basis of archival and other materials, this article reconstructs the political and aesthetic turning point that the trip represents in his thought and writing. The Berlin that Du Bois had experienced in the 1890s serves as the backdrop for his observations in 1926, and his engagement with contemporaneous German intellectual and political life, as well as his interest in museums and visual art, inform the way he constructs Berlin as an idealized cosmopolitan space in his 1928 novel The Dark Princess .
