Mestiza Double Consciousness

Abstract: In this article, the author proposes a confluence of W. E. B. Du Bois's “double consciousness” (1903/1982) and Gloria Anzaldúa's “mestiza consciousness” (1989) to analyze the experiences of three Afro-Peruvian women. The merging of double and mestiza consciousness is necessary to holistically understand how gendered racism shapes their lives and why they have a desire to forge transnational solidarity with other women in the African Diaspora of the Americas. By gendering double consciousness and expanding mest… Show more

“…Likewise, women of color in other traditions, such as Gloria Anzaldúa (1987) and later María Lugones (2003), have used the concept of mestiza consciousness to theorize the multiplicitous consciousness of Latina women in a context of "racial, ideological, cultural and biological cross -pollinization" (Anzaldúa 1987: 77). For a comparative analysis of double consciousness and mestiza consciousness which explores differences between each concept and integrates their strengths, see Sylvanna Falcón (2008).…”

“…As we will show later, this autoethnographically‐informed perspective (see Itzigsohn and Brown 2020:38), theorizing the position of being “in or between two worlds” (Elias 2006), grounds one of Du Bois's most fruitful sociological ideas: his notion of “double consciousness” (Du Bois [1903] 1990). 4 Much has been written about this idea; it has been praised but also criticized, for instance, for its disregard for gender (Falcón 2008). The idea's origins and theoretical inspirations, including pragmatism, Hegelianism, and the insights of Santayana and Emerson, continue to be examined (e.g.…”

“…Perhaps the clearest meaning, though, is the angst Black people experience through daily disrespect and misrecognition from those outside their group (Allen 2002; Rogers, Rosario, and Cielto 2020). Although most associated with Black Americans, scholars have successfully used double consciousness to examine identity formation in the African diaspora (Gilroy 1993), in instances of racialized gendered perceptions (Falcón 2008), and for explorations of sexuality (Orne 2013).…”
