“Disidentification works like the remaking of identification that Fuss Advocates. Counteridentification, the attempt at dissolving or abolishing entrenched cultural formations, corresponds to de Lauretis’s substitution of desire for identification.”

I believe that Munzo wants readers to understand that disidentification can mean pulling away from your roots and culture that are a part of you and influence who you are. Sometimes you drift away from your culture because you do not want to be associated with some aspects of your culture. I think that when it came to cultural day at school I would tend to pull away or deny the fact that I am Black because may other people in my school come form other countries. I am American and do not come from another place, my parents and grandparents and great grandparents are American. I would try not to participate or pull away because I felt like what I had was not enough. Only in the last year of high school that I started to see that what I had was enough and began to embrace my culture. It could be because I was learning more about myself and my family.
