  • Essay / Everyday Mother-Daughter Relationship By...

    Wangero is one of those who are just starting to love her family heritage and others, because she is just entering her family heritage and should get everything what she wants from her mother. In David Cowart's essay Heritage and Deracination in Walker's “Everyday Use,” he says, “Only by remaining in touch with a close history and an immediate cultural reality can one reclaim the quilts. » which means that Maggie does not stay in touch with her history or culture even though she is there every day with her mother (Cowart 171-72). When Wangero returns with her boyfriend, she acts as if she is better than them because she regained her heritage and lost what is important to them, the mother-daughter relationship. In another source, it is said that "Dee obviously takes center stage in Mom's world", so her central place is the reason why whatever she wants, she gets, especially things that have value heritage (Susan Farrell 180). The mother-daughter bond she shares with Wangero is much more special and that bond with her mother should mean more to her than quilts or anything else with any type of history.
