This is just a discussion post, not a paper. It should focus on one or more theoretical ideas of DuBois or Simmel.
Double Consciousness [DuBois]
The Veil [DuBois]
The problem of the color line [DuBois]
The Stranger [Simmel]
Focus on one concept [or perhaps two interrelated concepts] or ideas expressed in the reading materials for this week. Which concept/idea did you find most intriguing or powerful? The gist of the assignment is for you to engage—in an analytically sound way—with the theories [the explanations] we cover in the course.
Be sure to cite properly [using ASA style] throughout, including providing a list of references.
I have uploaded the eTextbook. The pages for DuBois are on 130-133 & 190-193. The pages for Simmel are on 143-145.
