William Edward Burghardt Du Bois’s considerable contributions were actively diminished during his life and remain marginal in geography. This is unfortunate for urban geography, particularly its political economy wing, because his empirical and theoretical work offer an illuminating internal critique of modern debates in the field. This review essay attempts to initiate a wider dialogue about the potential value of Du Bois to the influential urban political economy paradigm in geography. Specifically, I adapt and apply Du Boisian definitions of racism to two literatures: the rise of neoliberalism and the significance of gentrification in Black spaces.

威廉·爱德华·布格哈特·杜波依斯（William Edward Burghardt Du Bois）的巨大贡献在他的一生中被积极削弱，在地理上仍然处于边缘地位。这对于城市地理学，特别是其政治经济学派来说是不幸的，因为他的经验和理论工作为该领域的现代辩论提供了启发性的内部批判。这篇综述文章试图就杜波依斯对地理学上具有影响力的城市政治经济学范式的潜在价值展开更广泛的对话。具体来说，我将杜布瓦人关于种族主义的定义改编并应用到两篇文献中：新自由主义的兴起和黑人空间中绅士化的重要性。
