W.E.B. Du Bois The Souls of Black Folk and Black Double Consciousness
W.D. Wright
Contrary to the usual contention that Du Bois’s “double consciousness” is merely a literary trope, in W.E.B. Du Bois The Souls of Black Folk and Black Double Consciousness, Wright demonstrates for the first time in scholarship on Du Bois that, functioning as a scientific sociologist with extensive knowledge of cognitive psychology, Du Bois discovered a distinctive historical form of cognition among Black people that had a “double consciousness” feature.
