in a critical response of at least 150 words, examine the position put forward by Muñoz about the connection between names—especially those that signify a specific racial/cultural tradition—and identity. Muñoz contends that certain groups, in his case Latinos, suffer from the “erasure” of their names through the dual processes of Anglicization and Americanization. Do you agree with his contention? Does a name such as Kaitlyn Zepeda, to use his example, undermine some notion of racial/cultural stability? Does it, on the contrary, signify a movement away from singular ethnic identity and toward collective American identity? Use a brief quote or two from Muñoz’s essay to help you develop your response.
