Summary
This brief essay replies to the response by N. S. Subba Rao to Du Bois’s “Clash of Colour” (chapter 12). It argues that Rao’s objection to solidarity among the “coloured peoples” of the world against white domination is misguided. What is required is a “third path”: a posture neither of humiliation nor of war but of strength and unity against white domination will lead toward the ultimate goal of a “real union of all colours and of races.”
