Problem: Critically examine the concept of double consciousness as developed by W.E.B. Dubois. How do you interpret the 'veil' that Dubois describes in his discussion of double-consciousness? What special insight does double consciousness provide? What costs are associated with it? Is this something that everyone can experience or is it only experienced by groups of people who have been oppressed in some way? Explain your reasoning.
