He described it as the sense of looking at yourself through the eyes of people who believe you to be somehow subordinate or inferior. Your view of yourself is inevitably at war with the oppressor’s view. Anyway, he called it a two-ness, and that’s the word that resonated with me. A two-ness. Although perhaps I experience it differently from what he intended”
