The Veil produces a distinctive kind of subjectivity that Du Bois calls double-consciousness, a term that refers to the way black people are forced to seem themselves both through their own eyes and through the hostile gaze of racism. Du Bois characterizes the force of racial prejudice and alienation as a Veil that separates black people from whites and from the broader society in which they live. He recalls the moment at which he first became aware of racism as a child, when a little white girl in his elementary school class refused to accept a greeting card he gave to her. The first chapter opens with Du Bois noting that white people seem to be curious about what it is like to be considered “a problem” by society. He outlines the book, which features thirteen distinct chapters on issues ranging from Reconstruction to leadership to education to religion.
