本文认为，杜波依斯的面纱、灵魂和双重意识三重框架有助于我们分析和理解当今种族化民族主义的复兴。我将杜波依斯关于德国民族主义和反犹太主义的早期著作与他后来关于美国民族主义和反黑人种族主义的著作并列，以展示德国的反犹太主义和美国的反黑人种族主义如何在二十世纪初成为各自民族主义话语的构成要素。笔者认为，杜波依斯对德国民族主义“双重问题”的分析是其美国民族主义“双重问题”理论的重要先驱。杜波依斯的概念综合起来，提供了一个仍然相关的框架，通过它来理解种族主义和仇外心理的当代表现，这些是二十一世纪新兴民族主义运动的典型。
This article argues that Du Bois’s tripartite framework consisting of the Veil, souls, and double-consciousness helps us analyze and understand the resurgence of racialized nationalism today. I juxtapose Du Bois’s early writings on German nationalism and antisemitism with his later writings on American nationalism and anti-black racism to demonstrate how antisemitism in Germany and anti-black racism in America function as constitutive elements for their respective nationalist discourses at the turn of the twentieth century. I argue that Du Bois’s analysis of the “double problem” of German nationalism served as an important precursor of his theory of the “double problem” of American nationalism. Du Bois’s concepts, when taken together, provide a still-relevant framework through which to understand contemporary expressions of racism and xenophobia that typify emergent nationalist movements in the twenty-first century.
