- For the most detailed analysis to date of this famous and oft- cited passage, see Robert
Gooding- Williams, In the Shadow of Du Bois: Afro- Modern Political Thought in America
(Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2009), ch. 2. In light of Gooding- Williams’s
reading, I have corrected the relevant sentences of the original (2007) version of this
essay, where I mistakenly attributed this enhanced insight to “double- consciousness”
itself.
- But see José Medina’s recent The Epistemology of Resistance: Gender and Racial Oppression,
Epistemic Injustice, and Resistant Imaginations (New York: Oxford University Press, 2013)

issues into the discussion.
