Dee changed her name because she no longer wanted to bear a name that belonged to the people that oppressed her.
In her view, Dee is a name that belongs to white people. It is not a name that would come from her culture. Her mother responds that Dee *is* a part of her culture, as it has origins in their family.
Regardless, Dee believes that the name she has chosen (Wangero) is a better reflection of herself as an individual and of the culture to which she belongs.
