Abstract
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.
