Apropos of today's discussion regarding "double consciousness," and its relationship to the "Conscious Pariah" as well as connections of contemporary relevance, I offer the link to the "I, Too, Am Harvard" movement -- defining/preserving individual identities, while engaging society: http://itooamharvard.tumblr.com/ (video and individual "self-portraits")
I have also included links to two interesting articles, one by David Brooks and the other by Amartya Sen, both of which revisit Samuel Huntington' s essay "The Clash of Civilizations" and offer different perspectives with respect to the impetus for human unity and division, within the context of "civilization(s)" in today's world.
Amartya Sen:
