Question

How is identity constructed, deconstructed, and reinvented?

Answer 1

Answer:

Personality is developed by the ides our parents pass onto us, then we understand the world by them and contrast them to what the education systems provide us, and after school, we discover if the perception they gave us is true in the real world and our life. So identity is an act of receiving beliefs and contrasting them to real life.

Explanation:

All right, in the book, we see that the writer argues that the system is rigged and that Afro-Americans don't have equality towards development as white people have. In this perspective, he also says that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were dreamers and their beliefs were wrong. He also says that afro-Americans are at a disadvantage and that it is almost impossible to break that gap and develop in a level of success and quality of life like no Afro-Americans have. That we can learn based on someone else's beliefs but in the end we find out that these beliefs were wrong. Then we build our identity as interdependent subjects of society, while society develops the identity of African-Americans.
