Answer:
The character of Dee hadn't changed even after she went to college.
Explanation:
Dee had always hated her life and their house. She despised her mother and sister, with Mama saying, "I am the way my daughter would want me to be, a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake". Even after attending college, she still stayed the same, even going to the extent of changing her name to an African name- Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. She thinks that her mother and sister doesn't know how to accept or reclaim their heritage. But she is doing quite the contrary. In changing her name, she represents those blacks who end up adopting the idealized image of Africa rather than the real Africa. These quotes from the story are some of the instances where through Mama, we come to know of how Dee treats and thinks of her own family.
"She used to read to us without pity, forcing words, lies, other folks' habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice. She washed us in a river of make believe, burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn't necessarily need to know. Pressed us to her with the serf'ous way she read, to shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand."
"She wrote me once that no matter where we choose to live, she will manage t come see us. But she will never bring her friends."
