99.3767 The Struggle Over African American Cultural Identity.
This paper discusses the political struggle over cultural identity via "the naming" process, whereby certain social constructions reinforce systems of racial oppression. Throughout American history, racial identities have been formed by not only politics, but also by the intersection of class and racial boundaries. The paper argues that African Americans must struggle to rid themselves of certain traits that have been internalized from the white power structure. African Americans must work to open a discourse outside of the parameters of language built by white elites. In this way they can shape their own racial and cultural identity. 7 pgs.

100.4011 Black Achievements And Social Identity.
This paper discusses race stereotypes, namely that suggesting that blacks are not as intelligent as whites. This concept is, of course, patently untrue as there are many black intellectuals in the United States who have made significant contributions to American history, scholarship and culture. This essay will argue that while untrue, the stereotype of blacks as less intelligent than their white counterparts has negatively affected black self-identity as a race. By drawing on a range of sources and fields, this study will attempt to demonstrate some of the many accomplishments and contributions made by black scholars, politicians and cultural figures before discussing what we, as a society, can do to give blacks the credit that they deserve. Finally, the essay will conclude by recapping some of these numerous achievements made by blacks, and how these have made an impact on the history and culture of the United States. Sadly, when society does not give credit where credit is due to blacks, they fall within this unfortunate stereotype. When we do, however, these individuals are seen as capable, intelligent people. One of the fundamental objectives of this study is to suggest what we can do to assure that this stereotype is not perpetuated, and that blacks can use this as an opportunity to change their collective identity in a positive way. 16 pgs.

104.4331 Black Families and Patriarchy.
This paper discusses the theme of how the phrase "patriarchal but father-absent" is used to describe the contemporary family. The paper argues how this reality is connected to the different issues presented for Black families as opposed to white families. The paper shows how the society remains patriarchal in the sense that it is male-centred. Black families, meanwhile, have suffered in a different sense, since the forces of racism, as well as the legacy of slavery, have hurt the Black family in a much different context. 5 pgs.
