Hurston sees her sense of self moving past being solely racial. While being African-American has helped to define her identity because she knows how it feels to experience discrimination, Hurston feels like this is not the only thing that defines her. She speaks of an identity that does not capitulate only to racial elements. When she articulates ideas like "the pleasure of my company" or that her pride in self makes her feel as if she "has no race" and is simply "me," it is clear that she doesn 't let her race define her. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua exposes her feelings about social and cultural difficulties that Mexican immigrants face when being raised in the United States.

A Look at "Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement'. While overall the book Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement reads as being dry, somewhat emotionally detached and like a text book, it does not diminish the incredible work, strength, knowledge, leadership and life of Ella Josephine Baker overall this book has greatly broadened my knowledge of the incredible force that was Ella Baker. Author Barbra Ransby begins by going into great detail about how Ella Baker was first molded by the careful life her parents and family built up around her and the community service and charity that was an integral and emphasized everyday part of her childhood. Baker's beginnings of being an orator and protestor can be traced to Ella Baker's schooling: from her careful tutelage in grammar and writing, to her studies at Shaw University in Raleigh, NC where she challenged the administration on several areas of disagreement. From then on after graduating from Shaw her community organizing and protesting career continued to grow and snowball as Baker worked for the betterment of African Americans no matter the social or class background, with a particular focus on the

An African American–centered, Black feminist perspective clarifies why the African American experience may run counter to the theoretical principles of self-esteem. The principle of reflected judgments assumes that Blacks’ relevant others are Whites. Under this principle, Blacks would not only have to be aware of the negative attitudes that whites have for them, but they would have to accept them, consider them significant, and believe them to be personally relevant. Whites do not contribute significantly to the formation of Black self-esteem. Self-esteem is developed in immediate interpersonal environments.

It is evident that at times she uses communitarian and the female centric nature of Cherokee society to criticize modern American gender relations and society. This is bad because it goes against what Native peoples want and would have wanted. In all, in some parts of the text Perdue either was a bit harsh or at other times did not give enough insight but still endured that the book was successful. Cherokee Women in all is a powerful and useful book to many different people for many different reasons. Basing her analysis on gender, Perdue provides insights on Native Americans and gender that would not be emphasized in different studies.

In my passage journal, I considered which statements on the list I identified with and explored and why that is so.

One thing that stood out the most to me was when a white commentator described our modern day society as “White is becoming the new black” because many people want to pass as black and that’s when they began to discuss Rachel Dolezal. Racheal Dolezal was a Spokane for the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) pretending to be black. In reference to the NAACP many whites feel like it’s an unfair advantage that African Americans can belong to a club or organization that caters to the specific needs of that particular

For those Caucasians who chose to write about African American Literature risk the misrepresentation; will the work be truthful? Also, the African American community is very territorial and protective of our history and experiences. As long as we continue to have racism and inequality in our society we will continue to have differences in our cultures and thus a need for African American Literature. Until all racism even covert is abolished we can never truly have just “American

Since I am half black, I feel I see racial problems more seriously than my all white counterparts. My most cherished value is family. Growing up I was always surrounded by my loved ones. I was taught that family should be important to me, they are the people that have made me who I am today, I was also taught that family does not have to be blood related, family is a collection
