  • Du Bois illuminates the phenomenological structures of experience (veil, twoness, second sight) and describes the particular racialized subjectivity that emerges from those experiences.

    “Du Bois not only illuminates the phenomenological structures of experience of African Americans-the veil, twoness, and second sight-he also goes on to describe the particular racialized subjectivity, the 'ensemble of modes of perception, affect, thought desire and fear that animate acting subjects,' that emerges out of these experiences (Ortner 2006 , p. 107).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
