There has been, over the decades, lively debate about just how to understand Du Bois’ theory of race. For a couple of different recent takes, you can look at:
- Paul Taylor. Bare Ontology and Social Death. Philosophical Papers. Volume 42, Issue 3, 2013.
- David Miguel Gray. Racial Norms: A Reinterpretation of Du Bois’ “The Conservation of Races”. The Southern Journal of Philosophy. Volume 51, Issue 4, 2013.
- Chike Jeffers. The Cultural Theory of Race: Yet Another Look at Du Bois’s “The Conservation of Races”. Ethics. Volume 123, Issue 3, 2013.
W.E.B. Du Bois’ work on race theory has shaped and informed several socio-historical theories of race. For some good examples of different kinds of work being done from this approach, one could look at the following book length treatments:
- Lucious Outlaw - On Race and Philosophy,
- Linda Alcoff - Visible Identities: Race Gender and the Self
- Charles Mills - Blackness Visible: Essays on Philosophy of Race
