[Angela T.]

To Zobe La Mouche (Original Archives): Dumas was of African descent. Check out the link http://24.1.81.71/dumas/biographie.asp.

To Colette: Perhaps one reason people are freer with their interpretations of European/White American literature comes from a view that art from these cultures is universal (it speaks to us all), and thus open to interpretations beyond those traditionally associated with the work. Conversely, literature by non-Europeans is often seen as local, that is, specific to the group in question, and thus not generalizable to other contexts. Whether this indicates greater or lesser respect for the culture of Native Americans, African Americans, etc. is an open question.
