This paper proposes that African American consciousness is extant as a unitary form of knowledge and is predicted primarily upon denied will in its greater or lesser gradation within the unequal society. Thus, this paper is an approach to African American consciousness seen as a particular type of consciousness, an approach that examines the dynamic link between will and consciousness and which seeks to reanimate a procedure of recentering African American subject particularly with reference to cultural processes, including the literary texts of African American writers - e.g., DuBois, Douglass, Hurston, Wright, Angelou, Walker, and Morrison. A consciousness that has been historically conditioned by oppression and discrimination; an African American consciousness latticed with struggle and endurance and which is presented here for the first time.

非裔美国人的意识

本文提出，非裔美国人意识是作为一种统一的知识形式而存在的，并且主要是根据不平等社会中其或多或少的等级被否定的意愿来预测的。因此，本文是一种将非裔美国人意识视为一种特殊的意识的方法，该方法研究了意志与意识之间的动态联系，并试图重新激活重新审视非裔美国人主体的过程，尤其是针对文化过程，包括非裔美国作家的文学作品，例如杜波依斯，道格拉斯，赫斯顿，赖特，安杰卢，沃克和莫里森。历史上受压迫和歧视制约的意识；一种充满挣扎和耐力的非裔美国人意识，这是第一次出现在这里。
