An analysis of the recent switch from the name “Black” to “African American” symbolizes a reconceptualization of Americans of African descent away from race to culture. Such projections are collectively elaborated, driven by the adoption of “African American” in the media as a more positive alternative to “Black” and its equally consistent use among a socio-demographically distinct subgroup of black Americans as a vehicle for a new self-identity.
