Round 13: Tossup 12

E. Franklin Frazier analyzed how a form of this concept led to cultural elitism with a focus on material acquisition in his book Black Bourgeoisie. A form of this concept among Black women is indicated by imposing self-definition, according to Patricia Hill Collins’s book Black Feminist Thought, which pairs this concept with “Knowledge” and “the Politics of Empowerment.” In one book, a form of this concept is introduced as “measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.” The section “Of Our Spiritual Strivings” introduced a form of this concept as a “sense of always looking at one’s self (10[1])through the eyes of others.” For 10 points, a “two-ness” among Black people is described by W. E. B. Du Bois (-5[1])as the “double” form of what concept, the awareness of one’s existence? ■END■ (10[1])
