The misspelling of Dee's 3 chosen names: wangero leewanika kemanjo is an example of SUPERFICIALITY.

Dee is a character from the story "Everyday Use". In this story, Dee, an African-American, was portrayed as someone who wanted to immerse herself in her African heritage. She did this by changing her name into Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. 

Ironically, the name "wangero" means "place of stories" or "person of stories". These place/persons were the ones who told the story of their heritage, cultures, and traditions which were passed down to generations. 

Dee's change in name is superficial because she only changed her appearance and treasured things based on its monetary value not on its richness in culture and identity as a heritage. She did not practice nor live the life that is vital in making their African heritage alive. 

Several different things make up a culture like, how the people worship, their form of government, geography, and trade. religion is one of the most important things to a culture, it defines peoples life. their different beliefs form into festivities and events that merge with their culture. people that practice hinduism see cows as gods, so no doubt they would celebrate cows, and these celebrations would definitely merge with their culture. those that are buddhist live life trying to reach a certain level of peace, so no doubt would they change things in their life in order to correspond with their religion.
