Abstract | Black Americans seeking to choose an African name are confronted by several issues growing out of internalized oppression. African identity carries with it connotations of slavery, ethnic duality, socioeconomic limitation, primitivism, and racial stereotyping. The right of naming themselves is seen as a crucial step toward liberation for African Americans. (AF) |
