"The Power of Names in Identity and Oppression is a rich exploration of the complex political and sociocultural terrain of naming practices. As someone whose name is consistently questioned, critiqued, and misunderstood, reading this book felt like a homecoming. I felt simultaneously held and seen, countering the ways I am often made strange through my name. Not only is this book a love letter to who we are and can become through our names, but also a reminder that our names are just that: ours. And no institution, system, or repeated denial can undo our beautiful usness. Big hats off to Dr. Phelps-Ward and Kim, along with all their chapter authors, for writing the book Ive craved for so long. I know Ill be coming back to this volume over and over again, finding the nourishment I need and want."

"Phelps-Ward and Kims book squarely bring to life Audre Lordes (in)famous assertion that if one doesnt define themselves for themselves, they will be crunched into other peoples' fantasies and eaten alive. What we are called has always had power and the scholar-practitioners contributing to this text offer much to learn about history, culture, identity, and intersectionality. More importantly, they offer a collection that surfaces systemic oppression and privilege, as well as resilience and resistance, towards building higher education communities steeped in equity-mindedness."
