In his essay “Leave Your Name at the Border,” Manuel Munoz discusses how Latino names reveal the relationship Latinos have with American society. He further goes on to say:
“The corrosive effect of assimilation is the displacement of one culture over another, the inability to sustain more than one way of being. It isn’t a code word for racial and ethnic acculturation only. It applies to needing to belong, of seeing from the outside and wondering how to get in and then, once inside, realizing there are always those still on the fringe” (Munoz 310).
Put forth an argument that responds to Munoz by applying the arguments or ideas from Arwa Aburawa’s essay.
