    “Like father, like son” is a term that is often heard when discussing physical attributions or political choices. In James Baldwin’s “Notes of a Native Son”, the term “like father, like son” would be referring to the way that racism effected both a son and a father’s life. The racism Baldwin’s father encountered changed the “handsome, proud, and ingrown” man that Baldwin saw in pictures into a man that could no longer “establish contact” with other people (Baldwin 588 598). Baldwin’s father limited the number of outside relationships, like the kid’s friends, the family formed because of the hate and distrust he experienced (Baldwin 589). He was not the only victim of racism, his whole family was, due to the pain and contention that was brought home.…

    Throughout much of African American literature there is a perpetual underlying theme; double consciousness. As if one were a comic book character with an alter ego, one has to put on a facade in order to be regarded as acceptable, civil, and not threatening. It is a concept among early African American literary people that explains a inner "twoness" and never having an individual unified identity because of this. It is thought to be expressed because of the oppression and disvaluement of blacks in a white dominated society. Du Bois explains that because of this, it is hard for blacks to be able to relate to having a black identity and having a American identity.…
