The plot centers on how to understand and inherit such cultural heritage as quilts. By analyzing Alice Walker’s Everyday Use for Grandmama against historical and cultural context, this thesis points out that Alice Walker, by using symbolism and through the description of mother’s insight, discusses two mistakes in African-Americans’ cultural identification: timidly escaping from the painful history and blind root-seeking in African culture. The paper attempts to indicate that the memory of the nation is a challenging task not only for the black in America but also for the other minorities in the world, especially when they are being invaded by so called modern civilization.
