QUOTE BY GRACE NICHOLS

Song of Lawino by P’Bitek Ocol is no longer in love with; The old type; He is in love with a modern girl … To look like a white woman; Her lips are red-hot; Like glowing charcoal

Written to show the effect of colonialism She inherits doubleness in her body Effect of Eurocentricism Whiteness is shown as the universal beauty Her identity is white, body is black Contributes to otherness
