Abstract
An area of particular interest to the writer and one in which Thomas Pugh gave considerable contemplation is the process(es) of identity formation/change in African Americans and more particularly in African-American women. My recent Th.D. dissertation explores and analyzes the relationship of narrative/story shared within a group context, revelation, and identity formation/change in a sampled population of African-American women. A condensed portion of this dissertation is presented, providing the reader a limited vicarious exposure to many of the conversations between Thomas Pugh and myself, as well as my ongoing exploration into identity formation/change in African-American women.
