W.E.B. DUBOIS THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK AND BLACK DOUBLE CONSCIOUSNESS
Contrary to the usual contention that Du Bois’s “double consciousness” is a literary trope my non-fiction work shows for the first time that Du Bois, functioning as a scientific sociologist, with extensive knowledge of cognitive psychology, discovered a distinctive historical form of cognition among Blacks that had a “double consciousness” feature.

HITLER AND THE WHY OF THE JEWISH HOLOCAUST
In Hitler and the Why of the Jewish Holocaust, I break with conventional Holocaust scholarship showing that Hitler and the Nazis meshed vile racist images of black people with vile racist images of Jews, to create a conception of Jews that took them beyond the traditional German precept of Jews having a right to live under certain restrictions, to Jews having no right to live.

CRISIS OF THE BLACK INTELLECTUAL
"The Black experience in America reflects some of the richest dimensions of the human experience and human existence and also some of its most oppressive and wretched realities. Black people are a people 'up from slavery' who survived slavery, developed during slavery, and developed after slavery--all great historical achievements."
THE AMERICAN THREE-PARTY SYSTEM: HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
W. D. Wright has identified and provided a provocative discussion of the existence of the Corporate Political Party and a national three-party system, comprised of the CPP and the Republican and Democratic parties. Both the CPP and the three-party system have existed unknown to the American people since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, hidden in plain sight.
RACISM MATTERS
This work offers a new discussion of racism in America that focuses on how White people have been affected by their own racism and how it impacts upon relations between Blacks and Whites. Racism is distinctly different from race, and it shows how, since the late 17th century, most Whites have been afflicted by their own racism, as evidenced by considerable delusional thinking, dehumanization, alienation from America, and psychological and social pathology.
BLACK HISTORY AND A BLACK IDENTITY
The author argues that Black Americans are to be distinguished from other categories of black people in the country: black Africans, West Indians, or Hispanics. While Black people are members of the black race, as are other groups of people, they are a distinct ethnic group of that race. This conceptual failure has hampered the ability of historians to define Black experience in America and to study it in the most accurate, authentic, and realistic manner possible.
BLACK INTELLECTUALS, BLACK COGNITION AND A BLACK AESTHETIC
Neither American history nor American society anticipated, sanctioned, or encouraged the development of either Black intellectuals or a Black middle class. Both emerged and developed against horrendous obstacles and both are great achievements.
CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON BLACK HISTORY
Wright presents this collection of six essays on aspects of black history. Each essay is based upon a critical historical methodology that is comprised of, among other things, a racial analysis, an intersectional analysis, rigorous logic, conceptual integrity, and a critical analysis of ideas, words, and images.
