In \u003ci\u003eBlack Identity Viewed from a Barber's Chair, \u003c\/i\u003e Cross revisits his ground-breaking model on Black identity awakening known as Nigrescence, connects W. E. B. DuBois's concept of double consciousness to an analysis of how Black identity is performed in everyday life, and traces the origins of the deficit perspective on Black culture to scholarship dating back to the 1930s. He follows with a critique showing such deficit and Black self-hatred tropes were always based on extremely weak evidence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Identity Viewed from a Barber's Chair\u003c\/i\u003e ends with a new understanding of the psychology of slavery that helps explain why and how, during the first twelve years of emancipation, countless former slaves exhibited amazing psychological, political, and cultural independence.
