A Sense of Two-ness

DEAF DOUBLE CONSCIOUSNESS AT MIDCENTURY

I move—a silent exile on this earth . . . No gleam of hope this darken’d mind assures That the blest power of speech shall e’er be known.

John Carlin, “The Mute’s Lament” (1847)

John Jacobus Flournoy (1856)

Every colonized people . . . finds itself face to face with the language of the civilizing nation.

Frantz Fanon (1952)
