在《黑人的灵魂》一书中，W·E·B·杜·博伊斯提出了关于种族和种族主义的两种最重要、最有力的理论，即面纱和双重意识。本文不仅从字面上使用面纱这一概念来描述生活在奥尔德姆的英国南亚(BSA)穆斯林妇女的不戴面纱的行为，而且通过面纱来隐喻地使用面纱作为穆斯林妇女在日常交往中被社会和文化排斥的一种形式。本文认为，面纱和双重意识的使用能够突出穆斯林女性对面纱的霸权话语的积极反思，面纱是形成对她们的理解的压迫和面纱是可敬的。论文认为，特别是对“双重意识”的分析使用，可以突出BSA穆斯林妇女日常生活的微妙经历。
ABSTRACT In The Souls of Black Folk W.E.B Du Bois conceptualised arguably two of the most significant and powerful theories of race and racism, that of ‘the Veil’ and ‘double consciousness’. This paper utilises the concept of the veil both literally, in the case of non/veiling acts of British South Asian (BSA) Muslim women living in Oldham, but also metaphorically, through the Veil, as a form of social and cultural exclusion of Muslim women in everyday interactions. The paper argues that the use of the Veil and double consciousness, is able to highlight the extent to which Muslim women actively reflect upon hegemonic discourses of the veil as oppression and veil as respectability which shape understandings of them. The paper contends that an analytical use of ‘double consciousness’ in particular, can highlight the nuanced experiences of BSA Muslim women’s everyday lives.
