In a 1918 editorial, W. E. B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim their solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many African Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker T. Washington. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists such as William Trotter. In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter, Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.
Du Bois’s wartime position thus reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressures: government officials had threatened African American journalists with censorship if they continued to voice grievances. Furthermore, Du Bois believed that African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political advances. Du Bois’s accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to "return fighting" from the war.
The passage is primarily concerned with______.
选项
A、identifying historical circumstances that led Du Bois to alter his long-term goals
B、defining "accommodationism" and showing how Du Bois used this strategy to achieve certain goals
C、accounting for a particular position adopted by Du Bois during the First World War
D、contesting the view that Du Bois was significantly influenced by either Washington or Trotter
答案
C
解析
短文主要解释杜波依斯在第一次世界大战期间所采取的一种特殊立场。短文开头说,美国黑人对杜波依斯1918年所采取的政治立场感到吃惊,其妥协的立场出乎意料。第一段第三句说,杜波依斯经常变换立场,杜波依斯1918年的立场注重实际,因为它对社会压力作出反应。第二段倒数第二句说,然而杜波依斯的妥协立场没有持续下去,一听到美国黑人在军队中的待遇,就回到更加对抗的立场。
