The purpose of this article is first to examine W. E. B. Du Bois’ psychosocial theory of race, which is commonly known as “double-consciousness.” This is done to highlight how African Americans are able to navigate through life when one’s moral agency is truly constrained by internal and external forces. Second, drawing from Du Bois’ theoretical construct of race, connections are made to the lived experiences of Christian women in the anthropological, ethnographic study of Marla F. Frederick. The relevance and limitations of Du Bois’ theoretical paradigm as it pertains to the contemporary Christian women are examined, and attention is given to how the multiple selves of the Christian women are negotiated in public and private spheres.
