“Maya portrays race as an underlying code that
governs society. Most characters in the book are fearful of others of a different race. Maya portrays race as another aspect of society that separates people. Ritie’s “Momma” handles the concept of race the best. She respects the social norms when it is for the best interest of her family. However, “Momma” challenges the concept of race and the separation that race creates. Momma shows her love for Ritie when she stands up to the white dentist and demands her debt to be paid.”
