Please help, I've been stuck on this for a long while.

"Well," I say. "Dee."

"No, Mama," she says. "Not 'Dee,' Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo!"

"What happened to 'Dee'?" I wanted to know.

"She's dead," Wangero said. "I couldn't bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me."

"You know as well as me you was named after your aunt Dicie," I said.

What do these lines reveal about Dee and Mama? What ambiguity and irony do you see in these lines? Give examples from the text to support your views.
