Assignment Instructions
Using at least two academic sources from our readings or the library, compare and contrast Simmel’s notion of the stranger with Du Bois’s notion of double consciousness. Explain each concept in full, including related concepts from the same theorist (for example, Simmel’s thesis on group distance and types of social actors and Simmel’s concept of the outsider within and the veil between the races), and then examine their similarities and differences.
Your paper should be in APA format, in 11 point font, with 1” margins. Your paper should be 4-6 pages of text, not counting any title page, abstract page, or references. Be sure to reference your sources in APA format.
