Shaw: 'DuBois argued then what is now accepted as common knowledge', much like Edward Said
Double Consciousness
blacks internalise both their own black identity and that of whites around them, making them struggle to find a definite identity
'one ever feels his two-ness- an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body'
-
Veil
the way in which perception is altered causing difficulty for blacks and whites to conceive of blacks as complete human beings
'leaving, them, the world of the white man, I have stepped within the veil'
'born with a veil, and gifted with a second-sight in this American world-a world which yields no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the eyes of others'
Weber

Goss & Hughey: that 'Du Bois is frequently framed as a fawning student to Weber's role as a mentor and teacher', 'reflects racialized understandings of influence and prominence within sociology'
