[edit] Background of Double Consc
Apparently it has roots in psychology and philosophy including William James's discussion of a "primary and secondary consciousness" in some cases. Check out the source: "WEB Du Bois and the Idea of Double Consciousness" by Dickson D. Bruce Jr. (I got to it through JSTOR, in case you have it).
[edit] Elaboration
This page needs more. Double consciousness is a major term, one still in use and still important. It was picked up on by Franz Fanon (I think), Paul Gilroy, and others. Also, I think this needs connection to political consciousness. --Dylanfly 15:45, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Psychology
Isn't double conciousness also a psychological concept? Not just a social one? How come only one aspect is explored in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.197.222 (talk) 07:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree. It would be great to see a big expansion of this article. I'd love to see a discussion on the question "Can white Americans have double consciousness?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.234.152.10 (talk) 03:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
